Italian women face 500 euro fine for wearing miniskirts (in town of Castellammare di Stabia)
The Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | October 21, 2010 | Nick Squires

Women who wear miniskirts or show too much cleavage will face fines of up to 500 euros (£440) under new rules to be introduced by an Italian town.

 

In a move sharply at odds with a country which produced the likes of Monica Bellucci and Sophia Loren, the town of Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples, intends to prohibit women from wearing provocative clothing.

The town's council also wants to ban men and women from wearing low-slung jeans as part of a list of 41 new rules that "every good citizen must respect".

 

The centre-Right mayor, Luigi Bobbio, said it was all part of an effort to "restore urban decorum and improve coexistence" by targeting people who were "rowdy, unruly or simply badly behaved".

Playing football in parks and gardens and swearing in public will also be banned under new regulations which will be put forward for approval at a council meeting on Monday.

If the new regulations are approved, offenders will face fines of between 25 and 500 euros.

A local parish priest, Don Paolo Cecere, said he supported the crackdown.

"It's the right decision. In this way we can fight the spread of sexual molestation," he told a local newspaper, the Cronache di Napoli.

Italian women face 500 euro fine for wearing miniskirts

Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples, intends to prohibit women from wearing provocative clothing

 

***************************************

 

Could it be that this is the town's effort in the War On Terror?

MEMRI TV latest clips Iran's Enemies Want to Destroy it with Miniskirts (Iranian TV); 3 more.

(The FR link abov is from 2005 and so some of the images and links may not display or work anymore, but as with any thread the FReeper commentary is always the best part ;-))

 

*************************************************

Recognizing the monumental importance of this article and appreciating how very essential it is that the article and all conceivable facets of the subject matter discussed therein be understood completely by all visitors to the thread, I would like to encourage FReepers to add imagery of 'provocative clothing' so that we might all understand better what the term means in all of its various manifestations.

Thank you for your assistance  :-)

There's a famous black and white photo of men leering at a woman walking dowm the street (circa 1950's, maybe), who is not wearing a miniskirt, but who clearly is attractive. Anybody remember? It looked like it was shot in Italy, but it could've been anywhere.

“We need something similar in this country for baggy pants hanging too low.”

I was at a convenience/grill store a few months ago that had a sign on the door:

NO SHOES
NO SHIRT
UNDERWEAR SHOWING
NO SERVICE

For some women, it doesn't matter at all what they wear....they could wear an old potato sack and they are still smokin' hot.

A great one, thank you :-)

Sophia Loren is someone whom you can point to when making the case that God does indeed exist.
