“Beautiful coconut, fresh coconut”. But also very expensive for a street vendor stopped at the beach in Lido Adriano, on the coast of Ravenna.

The local police seized the fruit from him and issued a mind-boggling fine, three minutes which added up to the figure of almost 10 thousand euros.

The vendor was caught with buckets full of coconut between the bathers. Common and accepted practice in several Italian beaches.

Not in Lido Adriano, evidently. In addition to the seizure, fines for the sale of goods without the required authorization (5,164 euros), for the lack of traceability of food products (1,500 euros) and for incorrect storage of food and without the necessary health notification (3,000 euros) have been imposed for the street vendor. Also ordered the removal of the seller.
