Rome Cracks Down on Revelers

Posted Jul 11, 08 5:50 PM CDT in World 

(Newser) – Rome's residents and visitors had best behave themselves for the next 4 months: An experimental ordinance bans eating and drinking in the streets of the Eternal City, and cracks down on hooligans who want to "shout, sing or be noisy," Reuters reports. The newly elected mayor enacted the law, which applies through October in "areas of historic, cultural or artistic value."
