Venice City Council recently passed a new regulation to strengthen the protection of the history and traditional culture of the old city center. It stipulates that cheap goods such as "Made in China" shall not be sold, and the layout of shop decoration shall not conflict with the urban landscape and cultural characteristics. Venice City Council unanimously passed a resolution to make strict regulations on shops in these areas of the city center in order to protect Venice's traditional and unique cultural heritage and urban landscape. According to the report, the sale of "made in China" cheap clothes and plastic gondola ship model souvenirs will be banned.
When opening new stores in relevant areas, we should protect and carry forward the local cultural heritage to avoid the city losing its original appearance. At the same time, the shops that have already opened have to rearrange their windows. In the next three years, the newly opened shops in downtown Venice will operate high-end fashion, bookstores, galleries, antique shops, home design, art shops and jewelry stores. Handicrafts are also allowed, but the premise must be "classic, traditional and historical" cultural characteristics.
Shop windows must display high-quality goods and indicate the place of origin; It is forbidden to display any goods outside the shop door or on the window frame to attract tourists. We must ensure that the existing furniture and structure in the store are maintained and the decoration in the store does not conflict with the local history, culture and urban landscape. The new regulations also stipulate lighting, such as not using electroluminescence and strong light.
