A wrap party on the small Sicilian island of Stromboli, attended by rock legend Sir Mick Jagger and an ensemble of Hollywood stars, was abruptly shut down by Italian police. The Rolling Stones frontman was celebrating with the cast and crew of the upcoming film Three Incestuous Sisters—which stars Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan, and Josh O’Connor—to mark the end of filming. Festivities came to a sudden halt when local Carabinieri officers intervened to enforce a strict local ordinance enacted by the Mayor of Lipari, Riccardo Gullo, which completely bans music on Wednesdays across the Aeolian islands.

Despite local media reports noting that the music was only playing through a single small speaker at a reasonable volume, the police insisted on terminating the entertainment. The unexpected intervention was met with a mix of confusion and hilarity by the high-profile guests, who ultimately complied with the officers’ requests and wrapped up the event. Rosa Oliva, the head of Stromboli’s tourism office, sharply criticized the police action as a “punitive intervention,” arguing that local authorities should have welcomed and thanked the celebrity guests for their massive economic and promotional contribution to the territory rather than penalizing a moment of social gathering.

The interrupted celebration concludes the local filming of Three Incestuous Sisters, a movie directed by Palme d’Or nominee Alice Rohrwacher and based on a U.S. graphic novel about three sisters pining after a lighthouse keeper’s son. Sir Mick Jagger reportedly stars as the lighthouse keeper, with Josh O’Connor playing his son and Isabella Rossellini featuring in the lineup. Rossellini’s involvement carries deep historical significance, as she has been filming on the exact same volcanic island where her mother, Ingrid Bergman, and father, Roberto Rossellini, famously fell in love while filming the classic movie Stromboli back in 1949.
