Caserta is trying a different approach to violent and disorderly nightlife: instead of relying only on enforcement, it is asking bars, pubs and other venues to take a visible stand.
The initiative is called Mò-Vita. Presented publicly on 13 November 2026, it is a public-awareness campaign intended to make nightlife safer and more respectful of civic rules in Caserta and the wider Caserta area.
The campaign implements an agreement signed in January by the Prefecture of Caserta, the Chamber of Commerce, Confcommercio and Confesercenti, with police cooperation.
What the sticker means
Participating venues display an identifying sticker on their windows. The red sticker is the public sign that a business has joined the campaign.
The kit also includes a logo, posters and social-media content, all built around the same message: safety is a shared responsibility involving public institutions, police forces, trade associations, venue operators and customers.
The project was conceived as a shift from purely repressive measures toward community-based safety and shared responsibility.
What it covers
Mò-Vita addresses weapons, alcohol, drugs, violent or nuisance behaviour, littering and breaches of public tranquillity.
Police controls and other verification activities are intended to accompany the awareness campaign. Local reporting also describes a direct telephone link between participating venues and police operations rooms.
Who is involved
The campaign's public presentation included the Prefecture, the Chamber of Commerce, Confcommercio, Confesercenti, the Questura, the Carabinieri, the Guardia di Finanza and the Fire Brigade.
The initiative began in Caserta's historic centre with approximately 25 participating businesses through Confesercenti. An expansion across the province is intended, although no public timetable has been stated.
What to know if you are going out in Caserta
Look for the sticker: a Mò-Vita sticker on the window identifies a venue that has joined the campaign's commitment to safety and compliance.
Expect the same rules to apply to everyone: the campaign asks customers as well as operators to avoid weapons, drugs, excessive drinking, violent or disruptive conduct, littering and noise violations.
There is no published list of participating venues yet, and no outcome data showing whether the campaign has reduced violence, disorder or noise complaints. The exact standards for receiving or retaining the sticker have also not been fully specified in the available public reports.
