Headlines: Banned Scooters, Limited Seating, and Cyclone Harry

Today we're talking about headlines that might affect your trip to Italy. We're talking about things like the one-month ban on Lime scooters in Rome, Florence limiting outdoor seating, the cyclone the recently devastated parts of Sicily and Calabria, and February transportation strikes.*Nathaniel erroneously said that Niscemi was a hilltop town on a cliff, which isn't true. It's on a hill with a slight drop off which cleaved away, making it look like it was originally built on a partial cliff. Information on the February strikes: Monday Feb. 16: 24 hr National air transport strike - ITA Airways Monday Feb. 16: 24 hr National air transport strike - VuelingFriday Feb. 27: 24 hr National railway strike - Trenitalia (This one isn’t mentioned on the podcast as it looks like it was recently added.) - This train strike will be from 9:00pm Feb. 27 to 9:00pm Feb. 28. More info can be found on the official Trenitalia website. The guaranteed long distance train list can be found here.
