According to EU Helpers, in order to prove this, the relevant authorities have put in place stringent regulations and intend to punish those who disobey them.

Tourists, for instance, are not allowed to just show up, wander the city, or swim in the canals without wearing clothes. Additionally, Deutsche Welle reports that travelers must be careful where they sit because doing so on sidewalks and bridges might result in fines.

The decision to charge non-sleeping visitors to Venice an entrance fee has been postponed until next year. During the 20-day trial period, which will take place while the city is bustling with tourists, the proposal will be evaluated. Nearly a hundred times as many people visited the city in 2019—5.5 million—than there were residents in Venice.

Additionally, some beaches are enacting regulations to minimize overtourism. For example, many beaches on Baunei in Sardinia have restrictions on the number of visitors allowed as well as requirements that reservations and payment be made in advance.

As of right now, visitors cannot bring their own vehicles to the islands of Linosa and Lampedusa, as well as Procida in the Gulf of Naples, making travel in Italy's tourist sites more constrained.

Only this strategy is effective. Mobility is a challenge for us because we are the island with the highest density of people in all of Europe, Procida mayor Raimondo Ambrosino told the newspaper Il Messaggero.

The management authorities are attempting to control the influx of tourists, thus entrance to the Pragser Wildsee Lake, a well-liked tourist destination, has now been restricted. Visitors can now only travel there by purchasing a ticket online in advance and by using public transportation.

One of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy, Portofino, has also been subject to partial implementation of restrictions with zones where taking pictures is more commonplace; violators could face a fine of up to €275.

Walking around the town center in your underwear, a bikini, or barefoot is not permitted.

We don't want to scare away or deter visitors; that's not our purpose. According to Portofino Mayor Matteo Viacava, everyone must do their share to preserve the town's beauty by acting appropriately.

As Venice now runs the possibility of being added to UNESCO's list of endangered sites, the situation has gotten worse and the city is suffering greatly from overtourism.
