Bodyguard in Venice
Protection where the streets are canals.
Venice is one of the world’s most visited luxury destinations - a city of private palazzo stays, the Film Festival, the Biennale and Carnevale, where wealth and fame concentrate in a dense, water-bound maze.
Algoz coordinates discreet close protection and water-borne logistics in Venice through licensed Italian operators who know the city’s calli, canals and private entrances intimately.

EnquireWhy protection in Italy must be licensed.
In Italy, private security is regulated under the consolidated public-security law (TULPS) and licensed by the Prefettura and Questura. Protection officers (guardie particolari giurate) are sworn and vetted, and armed roles are tightly controlled.
Algoz coordinates protection in Venice exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative vetted, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Milan and Rome.
What protection in Venice costs.
As a guide, professional close protection in Italy is, in 2026, from EUR 850 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover - the market base - with the final rate shaped by the profile, the threat picture and the season, and confirmed on enquiry with no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium. Read our full close protection pricing guide, how a security driver works, and how modern close protection is run.
