Venice Locals Win Haunted Island Showdown

Plot twist: Venice’s infamous plague island, Poveglia (yep, the one with the ghost stories and abandoned asylums), is officially off-limits to tourists! Locals just snagged a 99-year lease, beating out developers and even the mayor’s crew, to turn it into a residents-only park. After centuries of creepy history, it’s getting a fresh start—no cruise ships, no day-trippers, just Venetians and a bunch of wild rabbits. Can you imagine the FOMO? #Travel #Venice #Poveglia
