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.

Your US security detail cannot work in Venice. Ours can.
Why your home team stops at the border
Italy licenses personal protection through Prefettura-authorized security institutes under the TULPS, and the officer on the ground is a sworn Guardia Particolare Giurata. A US executive protection agent, however good, has no standing to work in Venice, cannot be insured for it, and would put the principal at risk of a stop that ends the visit. What we do instead: an officer licensed here, briefed by us against your itinerary, who works alongside your security director rather than replacing them.
Officers who work the way your US team does
English-speaking as standard, insured through the licensed institute that employs them, NDA-bound, and run to the same advance, arrival and departure discipline a US executive protection team expects. Your security director gets a named coordinator and a written plan before anyone arrives, and the officer reports to that plan, not around it.
Car plus officer, and a reply on your clock
Most US visits are best covered by one security-trained driver with an executive vehicle, adding a second officer for events, show weeks and evenings out. Rates are quoted in EUR, with an indicative USD figure alongside for visitors from outside Europe. A person reads every message and replies, usually within two hours and always within 24, on Eastern and Pacific hours as well as ours.

We ask for at least seven days. That is the honest lead time for vetting the brief, assigning the right officer and doing the advance work. Under 48 hours is an urgency case: additional fees, and no guarantee.
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.
