ROME—Venice is divided ahead of next week’s celebrity wedding of U.S. tech-tycoon Jeff Bezos and Laura Sanchez, with some looking forward to the glitz and glamour, while others fear it will turn the scenic city of gondolas and palazzi into an amusement park.

Many details of the wedding are still under wraps—including the precise day it will happen—but it is certain that scores of stars from film, fashion and business will arrive to see Bezos tie the knot—provided they can get past the protesters.
