Which Italian city was attempting to open major fast food outlet?

The first McDonald's fast-food restaurant in Italy firmly planted its golden arches above a doorway in the heart of the Piazza di Spagna on March 20. Since that day, life for Valentino, the Italian fashion designer, has not smelled the same.

According to Valentino, who this week began legal action aimed at closing the restaurant, which backs on to his Rome headquarters, the McDonald's created a ''significant and constant noise and an unbearable smell of fried food fouling the air.'' He has asked Italian magistrates to order it closed immediately on the ground that it is a nuisance.
