Florence has banned people from walking around the city centre in the evenings in a bid to tackle overcrowding. The popular Italian city will only allow tourists to eat or drink but people cannot wander the city streets after 9pm. Florence Mayor Dario Nardella signed the ordinance which bans people from wandering around the popular areas on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings until further notice. People are also banned from drinking on the steps of the Santo Spirito basilica at all hours from now on. He says that street food by its nature means tourists are wandering around the city dropping food and plastic.
