Apparently locals (Veneto region) and anyone visiting family are exempt, so hopefully that alleviates most of the financial burden for Italian people.

Hopefully it also boosts income for the city and benefits people actually living there in a meaningful way.

One can dream

Considering that when I visited I paid around 50 euro for parking alone, 10 euro fee won't deter anyone.

You were ripped off.

They are setting some limits as well.

You may have missed this in the article:

> The local council has emphasised that there will be no limit to visitor numbers, only an increase in the entry fee should a certain number of visitors be reached on a particular day.

"Oh no there is no limit, it's just that you're visitor number 100,001 so you'll have to pay € 500 to get in, but feel free to do so" ;-)
