We arrive at VCE on 10/20 and I'm just wondering if there's much to be concerned about?
I don't really see the strike impacting us one way or the other, apart from lunch reservations on the isle of Giudecca on 10/21. I'm sure our hotel can arrange transportation though. The Gritti has their own boat. We have no other fixed plans that day.
I'm slightly worried about the possibility of it being pushed ahead one day, as it would turn into an enormous inconvenience and problem if it occurred on our day of arrival. I suppose we should count ourselves lucky that it got scheduled for the 21st.
The day of the strike will never change. A strike can be called off, but the date cannot change. There is a massive demonstration already prepared for Rome on the 21st. For your lunch reservation on the 21st I'd email the Gritti and check if the boat is running. The strike involves public
and private transportation. The Gritti has a boat, but I'd check with them because it will probably not operate.
