How Milan is breaking up over the late night noise.

Cities around the world are trying to figure out how to deal with the influx of visitors who create more noise and disruption to their places. The latest to enter the ring: Milan.

The Italian mecca of fashion and design will implement an ordinance next week aimed at addressing the late-night revelers who crowd the city’s streets. Reported on Thursday. Set to last until November 11, the law will reduce the availability of take-out food and drinks after midnight. It will also see outdoor seating in restaurants and bars closing at 12:30pm on weekdays and 1:30pm on weekends.

“It’s a nightmare,” one resident said of the late-night scene. “It’s become really difficult to live in Milan,” said another.

Along with the bans, the city will use 170,000 euros ($180,000) to help bar owners hire private security to prevent people from loitering outside their businesses. And Milan is trying to update police contracts so more officers can work nights and enforce the law.

Not surprisingly, the laws have upset many business owners in the metropolis, as they feel they are being punished for the actions of their customers. Marco Barbieri, secretary general of the Milan branch of the Italian Retailers Association, said his group would push back against the ordinance. He estimates that around 30 percent of Milan’s 10,000 restaurants and bars will be affected by the restrictions. Others worry it will stop people from doing that most Italian thing of all: going for a late-night gelato run.

Marco Granelli, the Milan council member in charge of public security, brushed off such concerns, though: “It’s clear that ice cream, pizza, or brioche don’t cause overcrowding,” he said.

While the new rules have a clear purpose, it is unclear how they will actually play out. A bar manager said that the crowd usually outnumbers the police officers, so enforcement can be difficult. And a 20-something in Milan pointed out that young people are generally very good at getting their way around restrictive laws.

Milan’s late-night streets might be a little quieter after that, but it won’t be so easy to shut them down completely.
