Venice was so unprepared for the crowd that the entire city council ended up resigning within a week of the concert.
It was the audience, which numbered 200,000 (only 60,000 people live within the city limits), that did the most damage, however. Officials said that they left behind 300 tons of garbage and 500 cubic meters of empty cans and bottles. And because the city didn’t provide portable bathrooms, concertgoers relieved themselves on the monuments and walls.
Pin Floi by Pitura Freska is an amazing reggae song about how annoyed Venetians were because of the mess the concert had left. It's sung in Venetian dialect though, so good luck understanding a single word of what the singer says.

Isn’t that the case that Simpsons recreated in their movie?
