TikTok ‘hordes' intercepted by police after influencer tells them to ‘invade' ski resort
Buses packed with daytrippers were stopped by police before they could leave Naples on Sunday in answer to the call from Rita De Crescenzo — a TikTok star whose strong Neapolitan accent and outlandish appearance have endeared her to legions of local social media fans.
The crowds had been headed to Ovindoli, a small ski town in central Italy, when they were intercepted in an attempt to prevent a repeat of scenes two weeks ago when the nearby resort of Roccaraso was inundated by 10,000 visitors inspired by online posts from De Crescenzo.
Skiers, many of whom were not accustomed to the rules of the piste, were accused of leaving mountains of garbage in Roccaraso, barbecuing on the slopes, and making it difficult for regular skiers who have season passes to access the chair lifts.
De Crescenzo rejected accusations that she was to blame for the chaos in Roccaraso, telling her followers, who increased by 100,000 after the first incident, that she should get paid for giving the resorts free publicity. She then told them to head to Ovindoli.
Capitalizing on the call, several Neapolitan tourism agencies offered tickets to the hills for around $20 including lunch and ski passes. Others, apparently, just provided the transport.
Trouble was avoided, however, after police stepped in following warnings from the mayors of Roccaraso and Ovindoli that buses would be turned away, according to authorities in Naples.
Neapolitan police said they stopped several buses that were not authorized to enter either of the ski resorts. Two were stopped because of the absence of booked tickets for the resort, meaning no one onboard had ski passes, a spokesperson with the Neapolitan police told CNN.
Warm temperatures that melted most of the snow on lower elevations also helped stymie what was set up to be another weekend of TikTok trouble in the mountains.
Angelo Ciminelli, the mayor of Ovindoli, said after what happened in Roccaraso two weeks ago, he pre-empted the onslaught. 'We had thought about adopting these measures before the challenge,' he said. 'But we had no choice after she challenged her followers to come here.'
The ski areas, in central Italy's Abruzzo region, have always been popular alternatives to traveling north to the Alps or Dolomites, but Angelo Caruso, head of the province, says they had never envisioned that social media would have such an impact.
Caruso ordered hundreds of law enforcement officers and called on the Italian army for backup to stand guard at various checkpoints approaching the mountain to turn anyone away who hadn't reserved a ski pass, hotel or who lived there.
The TikTok trend, he says, is luring 'hordes' of people who have no real interest in skiing but want to post their own version of the experience on their social channels, which often ruins the experience for ski enthusiasts.
Rita De Crescenzo's TikTok fame has also inspired a slew of other Neapolitans to try their hand as influencers. This has also caught the attention of Italy's Guardia di Finanza (financial police), which says it is investigating a number of the tourism agencies who allegedly sold passes and bus tickets without reporting profits to tax authorities. Influencers are also being investigated to see if they also earned a cut without reporting earnings.

Dan Tana, founder of eponymous L.A. restaurant known for celebrity clientele, dead at 90
Dan Tana, the restaurateur whose eponymous Santa Monica Boulevard eatery has for decades been a Hollywood hotspot — one with dishes named for celebrities who are liable to be there on any given night — died in Belgrade, Serbia, on Saturday. He was 90. Tana, born Dobrivoje Tanasijević, was a professional soccer player before opening the clubby red-sauce Italian restaurant in 1964, running it until he sold it in 2009. By then, its reputation as a favorite of A-listers had been cemented by the regular presence of devotees including Elizabeth Taylor and Kirk Douglas. The details of Tana's death were confirmed by L.A. historian Alison Martino, a friend of the restaurant's current owner, Sonja Perencevic, who purchased it from its founder. Martino, who runs the eatery's Facebook page — where a message posted Saturday announced Tana's death — said that Perencevic was close with the former proprietor and had been with him in Belgrade on Friday. Martino said she did not know the cause of death. 'Dan lived a wonderful life, and we will keep Dan Tana's in his memory forever,' Perencevic said in a statement relayed by Martino, who was at the restaurant on Saturday night. Born near Belgrade, Tana played professional soccer in Canada before immigrating to the United States, where he studied acting. He debuted in the 1957 war film 'The Enemy Below,' according to Variety. While seeking acting jobs, the trade publication reported, Tana started as a dishwasher at the Villa Capri restaurant in Hollywood, before eventually becoming the maitre d' at La Scala in Beverly Hills. That lined him up for a career in food. Before long, he was opening Dan Tana's near the eastern edge of Beverly Hills. He told the Hollywood Reporter in 2014 that he'd wanted to create an establishment where stars could dine late into the night. 'There was not a decent restaurant serving until 1 a.m. You had to go to a coffee shop,' he told the Reporter. But Dan Tana's was not an immediate hit. It eventually gained a following after actor Richard Burton, a seven-time Academy Award nominee who married Taylor the year the restaurant opened, became a regular presence. It received a jolt in the 1970s, when the Troubadour, a neighboring music venue, began booking big acts such as Elton John, drawing large crowds to the area. The restaurant, with its red-and-white-checkered tablecloths, and green neon sign, soon became a local institution. It has long been known for the discreet way it caters to the movie stars and moguls who slide across its channeled red booths. George Clooney, former Lakers owner Jerry Buss and heiress Nicky Hilton are among the eclectic bunch of notables with menu items named for them, and the routine presence of celebrities has only burnished the eatery's aura — especially among tourists hoping for a table. But guests aren't necessarily coming for four-star food. The menu eschews the sort of regional Italian cooking that has for years been a staple of the Los Angeles dining scene. Instead, Dan Tana's offers comfort-food fare such as fettuccine Alfredo and chicken Parmesan. In 2016, Times restaurant critic Jonathan Gold penned a memorable review of Dan Tana's, relating the time he took a high school crush there on a date, only to embarrass himself: 'The waiter laughed when I tried to order wine, and then served us Sprite in wine glasses. The bill came to $20 more than I had in my wallet. She groaned and pulled out the credit card her parents had given her for emergencies.' As for the food, Gold called some of it 'ordinary,' but noted, 'Weirdly enough, I don't care,' noting the restaurant's place in L.A.'s culinary firmament. He went on to highlight dishes including the chicken parm, and instructed readers, 'Dan Tana's is not about denying yourself things.' In the years since Tana sold his restaurant and retired to Belgrade, several landmark L.A. haunts have shuttered, Greenblatt's Deli, the Original Pantry Cafe and Papa Cristo's Greek Grill & Market among them. Dan Tana's has endured, Martino said, in part because it can still deliver a charming, old-world experience. 'When ... you walk in, the world stops,' she said. 'That's what I love about it — the history and the food. The staff has been the same: you could leave L.A., come back after five years and come in and they will remember your favorite drink.' Martino sent The Times a video of an impromptu toast made in Tana's honor at the restaurant on Saturday night. Flanked by tuxedoed servers and the maître d', Martino announced the founder's death, mostly silencing the crowded dining room. 'We do not need to be sad,' Martino said. 'Mr. Tana would want us to be happy.' Guests raised their glasses. And the din of a busy restaurant soon returned.
