I'm not sure but I remember reading in the news that Venice did actually put a limit to the number of tourists, at least in some areas

Just a grammar note regarding that clue: it should either be 'has considered' or 'has been considering' capping the number of tourists.

This needs to be a 'in the right order' quiz, surely. Otherwise we are just naming Italian cities. Excellent questions, though.

100% with 2:51 left and I’m not Italian. I think the quiz should have at least had a yellow box so you couldn’t just type famous Italian cities in any order and get most of the answers.

This quiz should really be a yellow box, because as it is you can get most of the answers just by typing the most famous cities in Italy.
