if you happen to walk at the Zattere this week, along the canale della Giudecca, you may come into the shootings of Commissario Brunetti’s mysteries. If you do not know theĀ popular stories of the detective created by Donna Leon, have a look for instance at Death at La Fenice: A Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery

The idea of “watchers” in St. Mark’s Square is a good one, but their success will probably depend on how forcefully diplomatic they are. In Atlanta’s downtown area, there are several dozen “Ambassadors” who wear special uniforms and are always available to help tourists as well as to reprimand them. A careful balance of aid and discipline is what seems to work for them. Good luck!
