Municipal Administration, the
Piazza San Marco
Association and the sponsor
Costa Crociere present
“ViviAmo la Città - Sei
in Piazza San Marco”
“Let’s live the town - You’re
in Piazza San Marco”,
a project to improve the quality
and preservation of
Piazza San Marco and the surrounding
area, which represent
one of the most famous and evocative
monumental
sites anywhere in the world.
The
aim of the project is to raise
awareness about using
Piazza San Marco in an appropriate
and sustainable
way, involving first and foremost
the local
residents and tourists who enjoy
this unique location
every day, with support in the
form of planning
and financial resources offered
by the three institutional
sponsors.
In
the months of greatest tourist
flow (June to October) of the
years 2012, 2013, 2014, in the
area around Piazza San Marco,
a team of eight hostesses and
stewards has been available
to provide information about
how to respect and protect this
monumental site, about municipal
rules of civilized conduct and
about the best possible use
of public and private services.
The team has been multilingual,
so to properly interact with
tourists of all nationalities.
Hostesses and stewards will
also inform Metropolitan
Police Headquarters of any violations
of municipal
rules they discover when on
duty.It
should be remembered that public
conduct in Piazza
San Marco, and the entire municipal
area, is governed
by General Police Regulations
and any fines are
issued in the first instance
by the Metropolitan Police.
These
Regulations clarify that in
Piazza San Marco, along
the porticos and the steps outside
the Procuratie
Nuove, and in their continuation
to Ala Napoleonica
and the Libreria Sansoviniana,
in Piazzetta
Leoncini, under the Palazzo
Ducale Portico, in
Piazzetta San Marco and on the
pier, it is forbidden
to sit outside the areas specifically
provided
for this purpose. It is in any
case forbidden to

jars, bottles and any type

to feed the pigeons.
