Italians Fight for the Right to Feast on the Beach For those who feel priced out of expensive, privatized seaside clubs in Italy, elaborate lunch spreads feel like the last bastion of good spirits.

It appears the fight for beach access, even when the public owns the shores, is universal. Me, I’m with the picnickers. Who doesn’t love a picnic, as long as you #packitinpackitout ? Lasagna might not be my choice in sand, but I’m up for the test.
