This measure affects the city center and the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello. Loudspeakers will also be banned during city tours in the future. The community’s decisions were announced Saturday.

The measures will come into effect on June 1, 2024. This is intended to promote sustainable tourism and guarantee the protection and safety of the city, according to Security Council member Elisabetta Pesce. In addition, “a signal is being sent against unauthorized tour guides,” said Sebastiano Costalonga, city councilor responsible for trade.

Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro also quickly signed an ordinance to protect public safety on New Year’s Eve. From December 31 to January 1, 2024, shops, bars and outdoor stands are not allowed to sell or serve drinks in glass bottles, sealed cans and plastic bottles. It is also forbidden to consume any drink on the street.

The use and possession of pepper spray is also prohibited. Failure to comply with this regulation is punishable by a fine of between 25 euros and 500 euros, according to the municipality.
