Italian Police Halt Mick Jagger's Stromboli Wrap Party Over 1-Day Music Ban

Stromboli police shut down a wrap party for Three Incestuous Sisters attended by Mick Jagger after music played on a Wednesday, when the island falls under a local no-music rule.
One small speaker was playing at what local reports described as a reasonable volume before Carabinieri intervened; guests reacted with confusion and laughter but complied with the request to stop.
Rosa Oliva, head of Stromboli's tourism office, called the move a punitive intervention and said the island was being penalized instead of thanked for hosting visitors who support the local economy.
The film directed by Alice Rohrwacher stars Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan and Josh O'Connor, with Jagger reportedly cast as a lighthouse keeper on the Aeolian island off Sicily.
A strict mayoral ban silenced Mick Jagger's party. Will this incident force the island to rethink its rules for VIP guests?
