Naples, the Prefect extends the nine red zones: Vomero is also coming.

The Prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, has signed a provision extending and strengthening the extraordinary surveillance plan in several sensitive areas of the city.

The measure, adopted following recommendations from the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Safety, aims to secure urban areas characterized by a massive influx of residents, tourists, and shoppers, taking preventive action to defuse tensions and disturbances before they escalate.

Prevention objective: parking bans are coming

The core of the measure revolves around preventative measures aimed at protecting urban decorum and public safety.

Specifically, the bill introduces a targeted loitering ban: the measure applies to individuals who, in the last five years, have been reported for non-negligent crimes against persons or property and who engage in violent, threatening, or persistently harassing behavior.
