Campania Governor Vincenzo De Luca on Friday said he would impose a 22:00 COVID curfew on bars, restaurants and night spots on Halloween weekend.
De Luca, who has spurred controversy by closing the southern region's schools amid a COVID spike, also said that anyone not using a mask outdoors was to be considered a criminal.
He called Halloween "an American stunt that is a monument to imbecility".
De Luca said the new closures would amount to "a curfew, and not even mobility will be allowed".
