As New Year approaches, Italian cities are implementing strict measures to ensure safe celebrations.

Fireworks and firecrackers are banned in most cities, including Bologna, Modena, and Parma, to protect public safety and animals.

Restrictions also include bans on glass bottles, alcohol, and pepper spray in public areas.

In Bologna, Piazza Maggiore will have limited access, while Ferrara promises a spectacular fireworks display at the Castello Estense.

Meanwhile, cities like Ravenna and Rimini focus on banning glass and aluminum containers but allow fireworks.

Authorities emphasize safety and animal welfare, urging citizens to avoid illegal firework purchases and prioritize responsible celebrations.
