Portofino is one of the most famous villages on the socalled Italian Riviera and is located in the Liguria region, about 40 kilometers from Genoa.

How much is the fine?
The fine is relatively high: 275 euros. Converted into our currency, it is a little more than R$ 1,515. The promotion runs every day until October 15, with the penalty targeting those who take a while from morning to late afternoon to take a picture.
It is noteworthy that the current time in Europe is summer and autumn when there is a greater flow of cruises in the region. So it is worth your attention if you are thinking of traveling to Italy to visit the city of Portofino.
