Stricter Rules for Lignano's "Tutto Gas" Weekend Amidst 80,000 Tourist Anticipation

Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy, braces for another "Tutto Gas" weekend, implementing stricter rules following past years' escalating party scenes. Authorities anticipate 80,000 young tourists, primarily from Austria, and have introduced measures to prevent a repeat of previous chaotic events. These include a nighttime swimming ban, restrictions on alcohol sales, and earlier closing times for businesses. "We've seen the problems in the past," said a local official, "and this year we're taking proactive steps to ensure public safety and order." The increased police and emergency services presence underscores the seriousness of the situation. While the "Tutto Gas" weekend brings economic benefits, the authorities are determined to maintain control and prevent disturbances. The aim is to balance tourism with the well-being of residents and visitors alike.
