In response to a significant rise in crime, security measures have been heightened in certain areas of the popular Italian tourist city of Pisa, located just 3 kilometers from its airport. Among the newly designated “red zone” areas are:
- The square near the Central Railway Station
- Mascagni Street
- Puccini Street
- Bonaini Avenue
- Gramsci Avenue
The world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa is situated in this part of the city. The “red zone” designates urban areas with a high risk of unlawful behavior, where the free movement of people could be restricted in the case of aggressive, threatening, or offensive actions.
Additionally, ongoing renovation work in these areas includes efforts to improve lighting and enhance video surveillance, aimed at boosting safety and curbing criminal activity. Local authorities have emphasized that these measures are necessary to ensure the security of both residents and tourists visiting the city.
