Rome and Ravenna get restrictive

[vconaway]

Rome has narrowed its rules, drastically reducing the city's pitches:

"in piazza del Popolo ci saranno 6 postazioni, 3 al Pincio, 2 in piazza Augusto Imperatore, piazza Navona, Campo Dé Fiori e Castel Sant'Angelo e una sola in piazza di Spagna, piazza Mignanelli, San Salvatore in Lauro, Sant'Apollinare, piazza di Pietra, piazza Farnese, largo dei Calcarari e piazza Trilussa."

And Ravenna has gone hardcore permit-happy:

Luckily I found this out before I went back to either city, both of which have been very good to me in the past.
