(CNN) — We all know being a tourist can be expensive, but in the Italian city of Venice, even just sitting down could soon cost you dearly. 
  
 The city's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has proposed a fine of up to €500 (about $585) for anyone planting themselves down in an undesignated spot. 
  
 The proposal isn't without precedent in Venice. People are actually already prohibited from sitting in tourist hotspots St Mark's Square or the Rialto Bridge. 
  
 A representative for Brugnaro told CNN Travel the text of the ban is under discussion by the city Council and so as yet unconfirmed. 
  
 The mayor's proposal is part of the city's #EnjoyRespectVenezia campaign, which has been in full swing this summer. It's all part of a general Venetian crusade against rampant overtourism. 
  
 Busy city

 Visitors to Venice have been subjected to numerous other restrictions. 
  
 They're instructed to walk on the right, not to linger on bridges and not to cycle. Walking around in swimwear is also a no-no as is feeding pigeons. Less surprising are bans on littering, graffiti and placing padlocks on monuments. 
  
 Back in May, Venice went so far as to attempt to separate tourists and locals over the busy May Day weekend . The expected large crowds prompted Brugnaro to implement what he called "urgent measures to guarantee public safety, security and liveability." 
  
 Venice is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations and its narrow, historic streets can become incredibly busy. Officials fear that a growing influx of tourists negatively impacts accommodation and living conditions for locals, as well as affecting tourist's experience of the city.

 Venice, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has long been advocating more sustainable tourism initiatives. 
  
 The city council website has an online tool monitoring the number of expected tourists each day , advising visitors to potentially avoid busy tourist spots, The portal also suggests alternative routes.

 Venice isn't the only Italian city implementing extreme measures. Earlier in September Florence banned street-snacking -- anyone caught eating on Florence's stradas could be fined up to €500. 
  
 In August, a selfie-based brawl at Rome's Trevi Fountain also made the headlines, reigniting discussions about controlling the flow of tourists visiting the fountain. ||||| Visitors in Venice could be fined up to €500 (£445) for sitting in undesignated spots, as the city continues to struggle with overwhelming tourism levels. 
  
 The idea, proposed by Mayor Luigi Brugnaro, will be voted on by the city council in October. 
  
 It is the latest in a long list of measures designed to deal with the city's popularity as a tourist destination. 
  
 Venice's #EnjoyRespectVenezia campaign, which launched in the summer of 2017, dictates that tourists are welcome but they must follow the city's rules.

 The mayor said: "The aim is to create more of a deterrent to people who think they can come to the city of Venice and do what they want, not respecting the city, urban decorum, and public safety." 
  
 In April, the city installed temporary gates at the ends of two bridges to keep tourists out if their numbers become too sizeable. 
  
 Local protesters tore them down in frustration. 
  
 "Venice is dying," said protester Marco Baravalle at the time. 
  
 "The mayor putting in the turnstiles is demonstrating that he is giving up. He wants Venice to become a city with no inhabitants."

 Other initiatives to curb tourism and control its impact include: 
  
 :: No pausing on bridges 
  
 :: A ban on swimming in the canals 
  
 :: No riding or wheeling along of bikes 
  
 :: No feeding of the birds 
  
 :: A ban on wearing swimwear in the city or being shirtless 
  
 :: A ban on dropping litter 
  
 :: A ban on attaching "love locks" to monuments and bridges 
  
 :: No standing or laying down on benches 
  
 :: No climbing trees, buildings or monuments 
  
 :: No excessive noise at night or between 1pm and 3pm (Venice's siesta time) 
  
 :: Picnics are only allowed in public parks 
  
 :: No busking without a permit 
  
 :: No drawing, painting or other creation of art without a permit 
  
 :: All large cruise ships (over 55,000 tonnes) will be banned from docking by 2021 
  
 :: No new takeaway outlets are permitted to open in the city for the next three years 
  
 Breaking the rules could see tourists fined anywhere between €25 (£22) and €500 (£445), according to the city's official website.

 In August, The Telegraph reported British artist Ken Howard OBE was moved on by police when painting in the famous St Mark's Square because he did not have a permit. 
  
 Paola Mar, the councillor responsible for tourism, said people need to take the rules seriously. 
  
 "The message we have to get through is that we're not joking," said Ms Mar. 
  
 "If it gets about that people who do this kind of thing are fined, as well as it being flagged to their respective embassies, perhaps we'll be able to stop others copying." |||||

We hope you're sitting down for this news, especially if you're planning a trip to Venice—because you might not be able to sit down once you get there. That's because Luigi Brugnaro, the city's mayor, wants to start fining folks if they plop themselves down in "undesignated spots," CNN Travel reports. People could be hit with a charge of up to $585 if the ban is made official. Brugnaro rep says it's currently being debated by the City Council; Sky News reports there will be a vote on the proposal in October. The move is part of the #EnjoyRespectVenezia campaign, which is trying to protect Venice against overtourism. Earlier this year, the city even put in gates at the start of two bridges to keep tourists at bay if too many started to flock in. Protesters dismantled the gates. "Venice is dying," one demonstrator said at the time. "[The mayor] wants Venice to become a city with no inhabitants." The city is notorious for other restrictions it has in place, including no lingering on bridges, no strolling around in bathing suits, no riding bikes, and no feeding the birds, among others, per the Independent. CNN notes visitors are already prohibited, excepted in designated areas, from sitting near a handful of famous landmarks, including St. Mark's Square.
