Yes, although the bill includes any stop in order to have food or drinks. A similar regulation has been in force for a long while re Spanish Steps before issuing this one.

The problem is not the polite tourist enjoying a sandwich somewhere, but the folks littering even on... monuments. And it's not that easy to set the wording for a bill targeting rude people, because that is the problem!
And it's not against tourists: it does target everybody. Clearly, in some case (place) mostly the locals, elsewhere the tourists.
