You won't believe which Italian city wants to ban the sale of ice cream and pizza after midnight

The city of Milan in Italy attracts a lot of tourists who instantly become addicted to the culture, the tumultuous night life and the fine cuisine. Now, a new law is going to damage the unique texture of the beautiful city.

Every Italian knows that there is nothing like a night walk through the cobbled streets of Milan in search of ice cream or pizza, just after leaving another outing with friends. The many tourists who visit Italy's fashion capital are also addicted to the experience.

But a new law could put an end to this long-standing tradition, with Marco Granelli, the deputy mayor in charge of security, recently announcing plans to ban the sale of takeaway food and drink after midnight, in a bid to keep older residents in busy areas of the city quiet.

The ban is also expected to prevent restaurants and bars from serving food and drinks in outdoor areas after midnight until 6 a.m. during the week, and between 1:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. on weekends. If the law is approved, it will go into effect next month and will last until November (the end of the tourist season).

The move by the authorities to deal with the noise caused an uproar in the city between supporters and opponents. The desire to keep the peace is understandable to everyone, but many argue that it shouldn't come at the expense of Italian culture – especially since many young people in Milan don't even go out to dinner before 10:00 p.m., especially in the summer.

Meanwhile, many residents of the city hope that even if the bill passes, at least pizza and gelato will be excluded from it.
