Dario Nardella, the mayor of Florence, wants to outlaw helicopter tours of the city. "These initiatives are harmful to the environment and have nothing to do with our idea of tourism and enhancing the beauty of Florence; I will request that the competent authorities not authorize them," Nardella said on social media. "The initiative of a private tour operator that previews overflights in helicopter of the city - it has then added the deputy mayor of Florence, Alessia Bettini - is how much more distant from our vision of tourism that is a sustainable, aware, respectful tourism; we will ask Enac, the authority responsible for overflights in the city, not to allow the development of an initiative of this type that poses safety risks and a significant noise impact." The City has no authority in this matter, but it intends to advocate for the prohibition of atypical tourist services in non-traditional Italy.
