While walking in Venice (San Marco, especially), the men selling "fake" designer purses are abundant. I am amazed that they do not have to obtain some kind of license to sell on the streets. The Italians are famous for paper work and roadblocks for legitimate merchants, so I am surprised these street sellers are allowed to harass pedestrians.
One evening when we were "window shopping" we witnessed a pretty angry confrontation between a street merchant and a pedestrian that almost ended in a physical fight.

At Least Do This: I think the only thing one can do is to focus on the beauty of Venice; ignore the "pests"; and always walk away after firmly saying, "No thank you!"
Alternative: Be as persistent as the street merchant. Walk away.
