Venice mayor hunts for ‘idiots’ filmed foil surfing along Grand Canal | Venice
The mayor of Venice has said he is on the hunt for the “two overbearing idiots” who were filmed gliding along the Grand Canal on motorised foil surfboards.
The young men were spotted dodging gondolas and waterbuses as they navigated Venice’s main thoroughfare on Thursday morning. The scene was recorded by several astonished onlookers.
One of the videos that was widely shared online was posted by Luigi Brugnaro, the mayor of Venice, on Twitter.
“Here are the two overbearing idiots who make a mockery of this city,” Brugnaro wrote. “I ask everyone to help us identify and punish them, even if our weapons are really blunt – mayors urgently need more powers in terms of public safety.”
Brugnaro said he would “offer dinner” to anyone who could help locate the duo.
