Italian town might fine tourists who pose for selfies

Italian town might fine tourists who pose for selfies
Apr 24 2023 Share

If you’re all about the social media lifestyle and love posting selfies in picturesque seaside towns, then the Italian town of Portofino might not be the most ideal place for you.

That’s because the town on the Italian Riviera has introduced no-waiting zones to stop tourists from lingering in popular beauty spots taking pictures.

Those who break the rule might be fined up to €275 for hanging around too long in these specific zones – and they include, unfortunately for selfie-fanatics, the most photogenic scenes in the area. 

The move was taken because these areas have become extremely busy, with people gathering at peak times during the holiday season. Known for its colourful houses overlooking the sea, the town has, according to mayor Matteo Viacava, become anarchic chaos. 

This is due to the tourists stopping to take snaps, resulting in massive traffic jams and blocked streets. The measure was put into effect over the Easter weekend and will remain in place until October. 

The rules will be in place from the morning to 1800hrs everyday as the summer months are expected to bring many visitors. This is a move that mimics that taken by locations in the US, France and the UK.

As the men waited, Chaz glanced over only to catch a glimpse of an unknown individual scrolling through a porn site whilst in his vehicle. 

Chaz zoomed his camera towards the screen to show a catalogue of pornography videos as the man seemed to take his pick. 

Switching the camera back towards him, Chaz simply shook his head in disbelief.
