  • Italian authorities have established "red security zones" in the popular tourist town of Jesolo following two major brawls within two weeks.
  • Individuals with prior convictions or those deemed likely to disrupt public safety can be banned from specific areas of the town center.
  • The measure aims to address a rise in violent incidents at the start of the summer season.

Authorities in Jesolo, a popular Adriatic resort town in northern Italy, have implemented "red security zones" in response to escalating public order issues. The move comes after two significant brawls occurred within a two-week period at the beginning of the summer tourist season.

The newly established zones allow police to ban individuals with criminal records or those whose behavior could potentially threaten public safety and urban order from designated areas within the town center. This measure targets a perceived increase in violent incidents that could mar the resort's reputation.

Jesolo, a frequent destination for Austrian tourists, is now under heightened security measures as officials seek to maintain a safe environment for visitors and residents alike. The implementation of these zones reflects a proactive approach to managing potential disturbances during the peak tourist months.
