"Today we will spend more money than we collect but [...] it is a way to make people understand that change is needed and, therefore, dilute visits to the city", said the mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, quoted in a statement.
The mayor of Venice also said that "people understand" this measure.
The city began today to charge a daily fee to its visitors, a measure to combat mass tourism.
At issue is an online tax of five euros, applicable to tourists who travel to the city for just one day.
The fee will only cover a maximum of 30 days when the number of days is traditionally higher, such as weekends with bridges in spring and summer.
Venice, an island city founded in the 5th century, which became a great maritime power in the 10th century, is spread over 118 islets, according to Unesco, and became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
'La Serenissima' is one of the most visited cities in the world, with 100,000 tourists staying overnight in Venice at the peak of tourism, in addition to tens of thousands of daily visitors.
In addition to mass tourism, Venice and its lagoon suffer from high tides that regularly flood St. Mark's Square and weaken the foundations of its buildings.
