Selfie sticks, glass bottles and food trucks have all been outlawed in Milan
Selfie sticks, glass bottles and food trucks have all been outlawed by authorities in Milan.
The Town Hall’s ban came into effect on Friday 14 July, and is aimed at curbing littering and anti-social behaviour, reports The Local.
Tourists and locals alike are prohibited from "holding, carrying, leaving on the ground, disposing of, or receiving any kind of glass bottles or containers, cans, and selfie sticks" in the area between Piazza XXIV Maggio, Gorizia Avenue, Via Codara, Cantore Square and Gabriele D'Annunzio Avenue. Firecrackers and fireworks have also been outlawed.

The fact that she left only her own neighborhood exempt led to an immediate protest movement. Saturday night over 4,000 Romans took to the streets, six packs of beer in hand, and marched to her apartment where they stayed up most of the night drinking outside of her window shouting things such as, "Why is it only legal here!"

not sure where it was in Trastevere perhaps along Vicolo de' Cinque but early morning, perhaps sunday monring, going to visit the Basilica it was absurd to walk through all the smashed glass that was left from the night before being picked up by the local workers.
