Overview

• Residents captured two more nude episodes in central Cortina within hours—a man washing under a Rio Gere gutter and a couple unclothed beside a parked van—marking the third public-indecency case this week
• Mayor Gianluca Lorenzi branded the behavior as unacceptable incivility and announced a zero-tolerance policy with maximum fines, criminal complaints, and potential reputational damage claims
• Municipal police have launched intensive patrols but say they cannot impose sanctions unless offenders are caught in the act, highlighting gaps in local enforcement powers
• Deputy Mayor Roberta Alverà linked the incidents to a growing ‘tourism mordi e fuggi’ trend of van travelers who lack access to proper facilities
• Officials warned that deterring such acts is crucial to preserving Cortina’s upscale reputation and its readiness to host the 2026 Winter Olympics
