Dogs are allowed a walk with Old Masters in Tuscany

Tuscany is about to become a dog-owners’ paradise, with a new law allowing
pets into art galleries, theatres, restaurants, cinemas, post offices,
museums and beaches.

The law, which is due to come into force by June and reverses a longstanding
ban, was drawn up by the Greens on the centre-left Tuscan regional council.

Fabio Roggiolani, a leader of the Greens and head of the regional health
commission, said: %26ldquo;We are knocking down the barriers that separate Man from
his best friends.

%26ldquo;Most people in Tuscany agree with this measure, which is in line with
regional regulations forbidding discrimination or cruelty against domestic
animals.%26rdquo;
