The Mayor of Florence claims there has been an increase in tourists sitting down on church steps , eating their food and leaving their garbage .
`` While he values the benefits of tourism , there has been `` '' an increase among those who sit down on church steps , eat their food and leave rubbish strewn on them , '' '' he explained.  To boost the sale of traditional foods , the mayor had introduced legislation ( enacted in 2016 ) that requires restaurants to use typical Tuscan products and rejected McDonald 's application to open a location in the Piazza del Duomo.
