After kissing in public on their way to a restaurant, the engaged couple found themselves surrounded by four officers, according to their own account of the incident.
The couple, comprised of a 40-year-old Italian man and a Polish woman who only knew her native language and English, had been engaged for two-and-a-half years.
Despite showing the officers evidence of this on a smartphone - such as photos, videos and messages - the couple claimed they continued to be questioned.
The problem arose when the officers found their documentation to show two separate addresses.
Once they had been identified by the police, the couple said they were fined 400 euros (£360) on October 9, as per the Italian government's coronavirus guidelines.
However, under this law there is no obligation for people who live with one-another to wear a mask when together in public, and within one meter.
The alleged offenders said that they were alone when they kissed, and that there was no one nearby, but despite this, they were still fined.
