Liguria is banning all yachts over five metres (16 feet) from 26 new sites along the Italian coast that recently had nautical visits from Jennifer Lopez, Italian national football coach Marcello Lippi and Wayne Rooney and Colleen Mcloughlin.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
