Every evening cops arrive at the same spot to check 48-year-old convict Domenico Codispoti is tucked up in his sleeping bag on the street.
The serial crook then has to stay put at 22 Via Vittor Pisani, just in front of the main station in Milan’s city centre, until 7am every morning – until April next year.
He said: “I have always done my stealing at night. That’s why the court gave me this sentence.
“Since I don’t have a house, there was no other solution. During the night I can’t move.”
His criminal record includes attempted robbery, petty theft, and drug dealing.
