Late- night snacks outlawed in bid to keep the peace
(ANSA) - Rome, March 26 - Revellers spilling out of discos and bars in Rome in the early hours of the morning will no longer be able to satisfy late-night munchies under a new city council reform designed to calm the capital's nightlife.
Vendors of freshly made croissants, ice-cream, pizza and sandwiches will have to shut up shop at 1 AM under the new law, which comes into effect in mid March.
''This applies to croissant makers, ice-cream makers, cake shops, yoghurt shops, sandwich shops, take-aways and rotisseries,'' said city councillor Davide Bordoni.
''One in the morning seems to us a reasonable hour that is satisfactory for both the shop owners and residents,'' he said.
Last month the council resuscitated a summer ban on take-away sales of drinks after 21.00 in the city centre after an American was stabbed during a fight at Campo de' Fiori, popular with tourists and locals for its lively nightlife."
