This year six stewards will be deployed to help improve the cleanliness and decorum in the Venice's famous St. Mark’s Square, according to an article in the New Zealand Herald. The stewards will “explain” to visitors why certain behaviours are not allowed rather than doling out fines.
The list of “don’ts” include taking off one’s shirt, eating, littering and taking a nap. Officials also hope to ban the sale of fast food to limit garbage and littering. Camping out on the steps of the basilica is already prohibited.
According the article, St. Mark’s Square is one of the world’s biggest tourist attractions Dubbed the “drawing room of Europe” by Napoleon, the square is bordered by the Grand Canal, St. Mark’s Basilica and Clocktower and the Doge’s Palace.
