Firenze [Florence], TOS bans evening walks taxes food stalls

In Progress

The City of Florence banned evening walks and implemented a "sandwich" tax to prevent overcrowding and littering from tourists during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ordinance bans residents and visitors from walking through popular areas at night unless they've been eating and drinking in the area. The ordinance also bans bringing food and drinks to popular tourist destinations. The "sandwich" tax imposed on street food stalls is designed to deter visitors from consuming take-out meals in the area.
