Outdoor dining (source):
"Florence is set to introduce a wide-ranging ban on outdoor dining in its historic centre after residents complained that restaurant terraces were blocking narrow streets and damaging the city's appearance.
Under rules coming into force next year, outdoor seating will be prohibited on 50 streets within the UNESCO-protected area.
A further 73 locations will face stricter regulations, including limits on umbrellas, barriers and weather coverings."
E-scooters (source, translated with DeepL):
"The Italian city of Florence will ban rental e-scooters from its streets and sidewalks next year. The ban will take effect on April 1, 2026.
The reason given for the move is that it is not possible to enforce the helmet requirement for e-scooters, which will come into force in Italy at the end of 2024. The city also said that the vehicles were causing problems in the city. “They are often parked incorrectly, driven in the wrong direction, or left on sidewalks,” said traffic assessor Andrea Giorgio.""
