Calling all pizza and ice cream lovers: Milan’s famous midnight snacks could soon disappear from the menu! The city is considering a new regulation that could ban the consumption of takeaway food after midnight in certain areas of the city centre. And why? Well, it seems that some night owls are keeping the city awake past their bedtime with their boisterous partying and snacking on the pavements.

According to Milan’s deputy mayor, it’s all about finding a balance between the fun of nightlife and the peace and quiet of local residents. But not everyone is in favour of this idea. Critics argue that banning midnight snacking won’t solve the noise problem, and they worry about how tourists and night owls will cope without their late-night gelato indulgence.

Imagine strolling through the streets of Milan after midnight, craving a slice of pizza or a scoop of gelato, only to find that your favourite snack bars are closed! This is a mystery that causes a lot of excitement.

Will the snack ban in Milan become a reality? Time will tell! Enjoy your late-night snacks while you still can and keep an eye on this tasty debate in the heart of Italy’s fashion capital.
