– Varenna is a wonderful village and we are proud to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world every year. But the quality of life of our residents cannot be sacrificed on the altar of mass tourism, says Mayor Mauro Manzoni to The Guardian.
From now on, swimwear is only allowed on beaches and boats.
In addition, tourists traveling in groups are limited to a maximum of 25 people and guides are prohibited from using megaphones.
