Milan is enacting a new ordinance to cut down on late-night noise and overcrowding in the city, by limiting outdoor food and drink consumption.
The Italian mecca of fashion and design will implement an ordinance next week aimed at addressing late-night revelers who crowd the city’s streets,on Thursday. Set to last until November 11, the law will cut back on the availability of food and drinks to go after midnight. It will also see outdoor seating at restaurants and bars shut down at 12:30 a.m. on weekdays and 1:30 a.m. on weekends.about the late-night scene. “Living in Milan has become really difficult,” said another.
Along with the restrictions, the city will use 170,000 euros to help bar owners enlist private security to keep people from hanging out outside their businesses,noted. And Milan is trying to update police contracts so that more officers can work nights and enforce the law.Unsurprisingly, the rules have upset many business owners in the metropolis, as they feel like they’re being punished for their customers’ actions.

One bar manager said the crowds typically outnumber the police officers, so enforcement may be difficult.
