What can be done on New Year’s Eve? Nothing, or almost nothing, according to the last Dpcm signed by Giuseppe Conte. But there are those who are already trying to circumvent the prohibitions … How? We will see it shortly. In the meantime, let’s start by saying that the decree of December 3 foresees a stop to travel from 10 p.m. on December 31, 2020 until 7 a.m. on January 1, 2021 except for work, health or necessity reasons. Yesterday we explained that returning to one’s residence or domicile is always allowed, but it is still necessary to show that you are nearby for a valid reason.

New Year 2020-2021: the rules for dinner

In short, going to dinner with friends and family will be difficult, if not impossible, also because it must be taken into account that on December 25 and 26 and January 1 it is also forbidden to travel between municipalities. As for the party, there is no particular indication about the number of people that can be invited. And on the other hand, the need did not even exist since the Dpcm strongly recommended “not to receive people who are not cohabiting, except for work needs or situations of need and urgency.” It is not all. To dine with friends and family, it is not even possible to reserve a room in a hotel: the decree establishes that from 6:00 p.m. on December 31, 2020 until 7:00 a.m. on January 1, 2021, catering is allowed in hotels and other accommodations. “Room service only.”

New Year: “So you can avoid the prohibitions”

In short, is there no escape? The government has studied everything in detail to try to minimize risk situations. But, as always, there is no shortage of those who try to avoid the rules and prohibitions. The “Messaggero” assures today that “they have begun to flood the reservation requests of ultra-fast stays in private vacation homes” and if the rules are clear for hotels, “for this other type of accommodation is deregulation.” Yes, in essence, everyone can celebrate together, defying government recommendations. After all, you only need to bring your food and everything you need for the party. The only caveat is not to go out after 10pm when the curfew goes into effect. All legal? We do not know. But many would already be organizing. The Roman newspaper also tried to test the waters by talking to those who rent this type of accommodation. And he says that the owner of a farmhouse in a small town in the province of Rieti asked for two thousand euros for two nights, on the 31st and the 1st, first specifying that the rent was for a maximum of eight people “better all from the same family “. to later add that “here we are comfortable at least 20 people, you are a group of boys, okay.” In short, as is often the case, one turns a blind eye.

But is it really legal to celebrate New Year’s Eve together in a country house or private accommodation? It is certainly behavior that must be strongly condemned because it puts not only our health at risk, but also that of those around us. In his speech, Prime Minister Conte explained that “in a liberal democratic system we cannot enter people’s homes and impose strict restrictions. We can limit ourselves to introducing a strong recommendation: we strongly recommend not welcoming people who do not live together, especially in these occasions, when the celebrations become more intense. It is a fundamental precaution to protect ourselves and our loved ones, especially the elderly, grandparents “.

Another perfectly legal ploy to pass the New Year Eve far from home can be book a hotel room or a b & b to spend the night and dine in the structure (while you return to your room) with no time limit. Many hotels are preparing themselves, inventing ad hoc formulas with discounts on dinner or accommodation. But is it worth renting a hotel to stay in your room? To the readers the arduous sentence.
