We're here in front of the six-story yacht of US Ambassador to Italy Tilman Fertitta.
Security has been high around the yacht all day, which arrived earlier and is moored here at St.
Mark's Basin because protests were planned against his arrival.
He is on a 13-region coastal diplomacy tour to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, but here in Venice his arrival was not welcome.
Protesters say it's a display of American arrogance, of extreme wealth, and at a time when the Trump administration as they see it is upending the global order and and participating in wars.
They they marched toward the yacht, brief clashed briefly with police, that during which they inflatables they were carrying in a light-hearted protest flew around.
At the end of the protest they put up their hands and said shame, shame on Fertitta, shame on the mayor, shame on the police.
Fertitta issued a statement shortly before the protest saying that he agreed with the freedom to protest.
But he did not come out and meet the protesters today.
