Activists threatened to fill the canal around the Scuola della Misericordia with inflatable crocodiles to block access

Campaigners in Venice have claimed victory after Jeff Bezos was reportedly forced to change the venue for his wedding celebrations in the city as his guests started arriving on Tuesday for the three-day jamboree.

The main reception for the wedding of Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, a former TV journalist, was due to be held in the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a majestic 16^th-century building in the city centre.
