The beach town of Orbetello, Tuscany, is battling a severe infestation of midges, threatening its busy tourist season.
The swarms, believed to be caused by fish die-offs from oxygen depletion last year, have overwhelmed the area for the past three weeks.
Local officials, led by Mayor Andrea Casamenti, have created a permanent commission and emergency measures to protect residents and businesses.
Fishermen and community leaders, worried about potential economic fallout, hope for a swift resolution to secure a successful tourist season.
