Will there also be turnstiles in Venice?

The mayor of Venice said at a press conference that he would like to test this option. For now, however, the test will take place in 2024. The results of this test will then be evaluated and the option with turnstiles will certainly be discussed. However, the residents of Venice in particular are opposed to this because turnstiles are something you know when you go to Gardaland or Disneyland. But a city like Venice doesn’t deserve that. All options are being discussed and evaluated.
