Waste management services, previously impacted by a heat emergency, are set to return to standard operating hours and door-to-door collection schedules. To maintain urban decorum during the event, the city has implemented temporary shifts for waste exposure in the historic center, moving various collection types to specific morning windows between August 26 and August 31. Simultaneously, the administration has revised business closing hours in areas such as Piazza Cardinale Pacto and Corso Dante to manage scheduled musical performances. While some closing times have been extended to 19:00 for certain concerts, others have been moved earlier to 15:00 due to security and public order requirements. The Italian Confederation of Traders and Merchants (CIDEC) has criticized these administrative decisions, warning that early closures contribute to the ‘desertification of the historic center’ and stating they may pursue legal action for damages. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-22: Benevento adjusts business closing hours for August events Benevento officials adjusted business closing hours for August concerts, extending some to 19:00 while enforcing a 15:00 closure for others.
