It was a star-studded celebration to wrap up weeks of filming on one of the most dramatic and remote islands in the Mediterranean.
But a post-production party thrown on the volcanic island of Stromboli for Sir Mick Jagger, Dakota Johnson, Josh O’Connor and a host of other British and American celebrities has fallen foul of local bylaws and zealous officials. It was unceremoniously broken up by Italian police on Wednesday night.
The officers were sent in on the orders of the mayor of Lipari, a neighbouring island, which is the administrative centre of the Aeolian archipelago, a scatter of impressive outcrops which lie between Calabria and Sicily.
He said the party contravened noise control regulations.
The intervention of the police was met, according to local media, with “perplexity mixed with hilarity” by 82-year-old Sir Mick and his co-stars, who included the Irish actress and singer Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan, and Hollywood actress Isabella Rossellini.
