<p>Mayor Luigi Brugnaro posted a video on social media showing two surfers heading down the waterway as the sun rose in the distance.</p>
<p>The mayor asked for help in apprehending what he called “two overbearing imbeciles who are making a mockery of the city”, and promised dinner for anyone who identified them.</p>

<p lang="it" dir="ltr">Ecco due imbecilli prepotenti che si fanno beffa della Città… chiedo a tutti di aiutarci a individuarli per punirli anche se le nostre armi sono davvero spuntate… servono urgentemente più poteri ai Sindaci in tema di sicurezza pubblica!<br />A chi li individua offro una cena! <a href="https://t.co/DV2ONO3hUs">pic.twitter.com/DV2ONO3hUs</a></p>

<p>In a later post, he said their boards had been confiscated and that the two would soon be apprehended.</p>
<p>He did not specify what punishment they face, but the city has a long list of rules governing the behaviour of visitors.</p>
<p>Venice has long suffered over-tourism, and with it lapses in decorum by visitors.</p>
<p>The city fined two German travellers £830 in 2019 for making coffee on the 430-year-old Rialto Bridge.</p>
<p>Visitors also are prohibited from swimming in the canals and from eating on the steps of monuments.</p>
<p>From next year, day-trippers will have to pay a visitor’s tax to help offset the elevated costs of providing services in the canal city.</p>
