    Why is McDonald's suing the city?
  • Earlier this year, the city's Mayor and administrative leaders adopted new licensing that would help protect their national monuments and heritage centres.

    When McDonald's submitted an application to open their new restaurant along a historically significant place, the city's Mayor rejected the application to help combat the rising proliferation of businesses in the city.

    Nearly 24,000 Florentines signed the petition against the restaurant's plans.
