In Rollo, Italy, the local mayor has imposed a ban on Islamic face veils, despite no national law against them, and introduced fines for offenders. This decision, although not prompted by any local incidents, aims to establish rules and is defended as non-racist. The mayor, part of the anti-immigration Northern League, has also banned burkinis at the town pool. The party seeks a nationwide ban on face veils, raising concerns among Muslims who feel marginalized, especially after the closure of Milan's only mosque. Despite these tensions, no outright ban exists yet.
