A wrap party held on Stromboli island in May 2026 celebrating the end of filming for "Three Incestuous Sisters" was shut down by police because of a local ban on music on Wednesdays, officials and witnesses said [1, 2]. The party occurred shortly before midnight and included music played at a reasonable volume via a small speaker [1, 2].
The event was attended by musician and actor Mick Jagger, 82, who stars as a lighthouse keeper in the film directed by Alice Rohrwacher. Other cast members included Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan, Josh O'Connor, and Isabella Rossellini, whose family is historically linked to Stromboli through her mother Ingrid Bergman and father Roberto Rossellini [1, 2].
The local mayor of Lipari, Riccardo Gullo, oversees Stromboli and five other Aeolian islands and enforces the music ban on Wednesdays [1, 2]. Police intervened at the party after receiving complaints from some Stromboli residents, though attendees reacted with confusion and amusement before complying with orders to stop the music [1, 2].
Rosa Oliva, head of Stromboli’s tourism office and president of the local group Pro Loco Amo Stromboli, criticized the police action, calling it "yet another sign" the island was being "penalised in its moments of visibility" rather than supported. She said the mayor's administration should have welcomed the guests or at least thanked them for their contribution to the economy and tourism. Oliva said the island deserved "worthy administrative management" that encourages dialogue and prevents problems instead of resorting to "belated or punitive interventions" [2].
Jagger and the film crew left Stromboli the following day. Jagger and Josh O’Connor’s father departed by private helicopter [2]. The BBC and The Guardian contacted Mayor Gullo for comment but had not received a response at the time of reporting [1, 2].
The incident marks a rare enforcement of the island’s longstanding Wednesday music ban, which applies across the six Aeolian islands administered by Lipari’s mayor. The Stromboli authorities maintain the ban to regulate local noise and maintain order on midweek nights [1, 2].
