In an effort to enhance public hygiene in Livorno, Italy, local authorities have introduced new regulations requiring dog owners to clean up their pets' urine from public spaces or face fines of up to €500 (approximately ₹55,000). The decision, announced by Mayor Luca Salvetti, comes after numerous complaints from residents about the unpleasant odors in parks, pavements, and children's play areas. Under the new rules, dog walkers must carry water bottles or spray devices to wash down areas where their pets urinate, including pavements and benches. The regulations will be in effect from May 20 to October 31, a period identified as particularly problematic due to warmer temperatures. Violators could be fined between €25 (₹3,000) and €500. Livorno already has rules requiring dog owners to carry cleaning equipment for pet excrement, and local officials are authorized to conduct spot checks for compliance. This policy follows a controversial proposal in Bolzano to introduce a dog tax to fund street cleaning efforts.
