They should wait regardless. The restoration was finished not too long ago, and I remember when folks weren’t able to go inside for years.

Booking and fee to visit Venice to spread the number of daytrippers

Another tax on the poor. Keeping out the pensioners, doing nothing to stop the young partygoers or the wealthy.

Venice needs a solution but this isn’t a good one.

and book their entry to the city in advance

I’m cool with this one, though. They should be able to limit the number of tourists who think they can just pop in whenever they want, because there’s too many folks already. If they did charge though, it should be to cover administrative costs and possibly fund restoration where sites have been damaged.
