I just went to Italy and became part of the problem. There were throngs of tourists everywhere so I sympathize with the Italians. But if they limit tourism, where are they going to make money? Manufacturing didn't look like it was doing that well.

I do thank them for developing a thirst for chianti. And their gas station mini-marts should be imitated in the US.

'In response, local officials unveiled a plan this spring to cap the number of tourists allowed onto the picturesque walking trails connecting the five towns. '

'The number of tourists arriving in Italy topped 52 million in 2016, up nearly 30% since 2000. '

'Some smaller destinations enjoy a special legally protected status that gives them a free hand in checking the flow of tourists. '

' Over a long holiday weekend in June, almost 45,000 people, mostly day trippers, came to Capri, three times the local population. '
