The president of a court in southern Italy has become so aghast at people parading around the palace of justice "dressed indecently" that he has banned skimpy summer wear.
In an official letter sent to the security team at the Brindisi court, President Francesco Giardino laments the “unpleasant situations” that have arisen as high temperatures has given way to plunging necklines and rising hems.
“To avoid a repeat of unpleasant situations at the entrance of the court, we inform you that entrance will not be permitted to people dressed indecently,” Giardino wrote in the letter, published on Monday by Ansa.
In the letter, the court president specifically outlaws “shorts…clothes that are excessively low-cut and/or transparent, miniskirts, flip-flops” in a bid to tackle uncouth attire.
The move should prevent any beachgoers from Brindisi, in the heel of Italy’s boot, from wandering into the courtroom unawares.
With temperatures in southern Italy frequently topping 40C during the summer months, authorities elsewhere have taken to setting citizens’ dress code. Last year, at least two Italian mayors, in Sicily and on the Amalfi Coast, banned bikinis from the town centre.
I can understand if they banned wearing flip-flops while wearing mini-skirts, otherwise it makes no real sense.
Gees, how can anyone in their right mind ban bikinis ?
Can they ban fat, hairy men from wearing speedos?
Gays, prudes, and Muzzies can’t stand the sight of a woman’s body.
Then I won’t be going to Italian courts.
Ban flip-flops everywhere.
Hate ‘em.
Has it really been so long ago that decorum in courthouses was the rule? Back when men wore hats and ties out of doors must seem especially quaint to generations for whom Casual Friday applies all week and wherever you go. I’ve even seen such at funerals.
People dress like slobs. I’ll never forget a picture of a bunch of young adults visiting with President Bush in the White House they had flip flops on, no stockings it was really of bad taste.
This thread is Useless without pictures......
Need pics of Italian babes in miniskirts.......
One time on Laura Ingrahams show she was all bent out of shape about seeing ugly, exposed, flip flop feet on airplanes especially mens. WHenever I see flip flop wearing and skimpily clothed passengers her rant comes to mind——not that I disagree with her though...
aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I agree.
Whether I spend thousands to go on a vacation or just hang around my home town it seems like looking at most of the people around me that they all just crawled out of a Goodwill box.
Seems like there is a major lack of class nowadays.....
I smell something.....
They’re not attractive.
Is that a man?
I’d take 1000 Helen Thomas pics before that one. Blech...
They really are not. And that clacking sound! I wish they could stay on the beach and never be seen elsewhere.
They’re horrible on the beach. They flip sand on everyone.
