Tips to Travel Venice and be a Respectful Tourist. Survive the Overturism

In April 2017, the Ministry of Interior of Italy put into effect a so-called “Daspo Urban” law. This law allows police forces to restrict access in certain areas of the localities to individuals considered a possible threat to public order, morals or public decency.

This is without necessity without the need for evidence of crime. This applies to vagabonds, but it also began to be applied to tourists within certain areas.

This expulsion can be for 48 hours and the recidivism reaches much higher penalties.
