Forbes spoke to We are here Venice about the controversial decision made by the Venice’s mayor Luigi Brugnaro to keep the city’s civic museums shuttered until April 1. “Many of these museums have spaces that could and should be made available without jeopardising the spread of the virus for community activities including education and recreation for families, schools, students.
