While newspapers across the world, such as the Independent, are full of ideas to come to Italy, and especially in Venice, to spend a romantic Valentine's Day, and a survey says that Italy is the dream place for a holiday love the British, El Pais reveals that it is now possible to "spend eternity in Venice", because the ashes of the deceased can legally be scattered in the city and lagoon. With a thin wire, and perhaps unintended, gallows humor, Gianfranco Bettin, Deputy Mayor, said that "many expected this news." One would certainly Gustav von Aschenbach, ambiguous protagonist of Death in Venice, Thomas Mann's novel brought to the screen by Luchino Visconti with Dirk Bogarde protagonist: the idea, writes the English newspaper Lucia Magi, he would have snatched a last wistful smile before disappearing in front of the sea \u200b\u200bof \u200b\u200bthe Serenissima. But the decision to authorize the City of Venice for the scattering of ashes of the deceased is not only poetic: there are space issues, especially in the cemetery island of San Michele, where, famous among foreigners, were buried the poet Ezra Pound The Nobel Literature Joseph Brodsky and the composer Igor Stravinsky, and there are economic, because the ceremony will cost 250 euro to a resident, but the double a 'foreigner'. And so the flow of tourists to Venice weddings can add up to the funeral: the white and black: Good thing the masks and Carnival will soon lead to Piazza San Marco colors more vivid.
