Satirical Bezos mannequins pop up in Venice ahead of wedding
A series of satirical mannequins resembling Amazon founder Jeff Bezos have mysteriously appeared in Venice just days before his rumored wedding to girlfriend Lauren Sánchez. The mannequins, complete with bald caps and tuxedos, were scattered around the city’s famous landmarks, including St. Mark’s Square and the Grand Canal.
It remains unclear who is behind the stunt, but some locals speculate it could be a form of protest against Bezos or a tongue-in-cheek nod to his immense wealth. Bezos, who recently stepped down as Amazon’s CEO, has not commented on the mannequins or their possible connection to his upcoming nuptials.
The timing of the display has led to speculation about whether it is tied to Bezos’ personal life or if it is simply a creative prank. With no official statement from any organization or individual taking responsibility for the mannequins, their true purpose may remain a mystery.
As Venice prepares for the influx of tourists ahead of the busy summer season, the Bezos mannequins add an unexpected twist to the city’s usual charm. Whether they will stay up as a form of guerrilla art or be taken down remains to be seen, but they have certainly sparked intrigue and amusement among locals and visitors alike.
