It specifically describes Vance's meeting with Meloni in Milano.

for requiring a 100-car motorcade through narrow streets in Milan .... "D Vance went to meet Meloni in a 40-car motorcade full of Suburbans through the tiny streets of Milan

I'm actually replying to the text of the article in the OP.

That said, you're right that pretty much any of the other venue areas would make Vance's idiotic motorcade even more clownish than it already is in Milano. But the streets in Milano are not any narrower than any other major world city.
