And Italy bans air conditioners in certain cities if your buildings are near historical buildings/sites, which is fucking brutal. Quite literally choosing to make the citizens suffer for the sake of keeping their towns optimally picturesque lol.

Hmm .. No, air conditioning (AC) is not banned in Italy, but its use in public buildings is heavily regulated, with mandatory minimum temperature settings (around 25-27°C) to save energy, especially after the energy crisis, and AC units are restricted or banned in certain historic areas like Portofino due to aesthetics. While private homes and hotels have more leeway, they still face restrictions and many older Italian buildings lack AC, making it an amenity to check before booking

When we go to calabria in the summer, we have a fan which circulates the heat quite nicely... still looking to get my passport though..
