Now comes the predictable decision in the newspaper today.

In brief:
"Extraordinary Commissioner Zappalorto puts the wheeled luggage issue behind him. After a clamor by the media and protests from the hotel owners the commissioner corrected that luggage would be excluded from the rule."
"VENEZIA - Il trolley "silenziato" fa pił rumore che mai..... (The issue of silencing wheeled luggage is making more noise than the wheeled luggage ever made)
Esplode il caso e 48 ore dopo arriva la smentita del Commissario Zappalorto, travolto dall'onda mediatica: "Solo carri e transpallet." Dunque, niente trolley."
In other words, 48 hours after this issue exploded, Extraordinary Commissioner Zappalorto denies it after being a wave of media coverage, and now says the edict would only apply to transporting things on very large "pallets," and, not to wheelie suitcases.
