Milan, a city in Italy, is thinking about making a new rule to stop people from eating ice cream after midnight. This is to help people who live there have a quiet night. This rule could start next month. It would affect 12 areas in the city.

The rule would also stop people from buying takeaway food and drinks after midnight. This is to stop big, loud groups from gathering on the streets and disturbing people's sleep. Marco Granelli, the city's deputy mayor, said: "The goal is to find a balance between having fun and keeping peace for the residents."

This rule would start in mid-May and end in November. It would start at 12:30am on weekdays and 1:30am on weekends and public holidays. It would only apply to outdoor tables to keep the streets clear. People can suggest changes to this rule until early May.

This is not the first time Milan has tried to do this. In 2013, the city tried to make a similar rule but people were very upset, so they changed their minds.
