Bedeutung
To prohibit something officially.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Exile was a common political tool in Medieval Italy. Being 'messo al bando' meant losing your home, property, and rights. Italy is very proactive in 'mettere al bando' harmful substances, often leading the EU in environmental bans. In Italian social circles, using this phrase to 'ban' phones or work talk is a common way to preserve 'la dolce vita'. The 'bando' appears in many classic Italian texts as a symbol of authority and the power of the word.

Check your 'messo'
Remember that 'messo' is the past participle. Don't say 'ho mettuto'!
