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.

Oh, now this is just WRONG on so many levels.

  I have a great concern for the well-being of the men in that town, that they will be deprived of an essential element of Life.

Castellammare...the wonder of it all is that I knew someone from there...a war bride (WWII)...married a fellow I knew in Des Moines when I was a kid. I remember her cooking squid in a skillet one time we were there for dinner...watched them Calamari jump around in the skillet, then had to eat ‘em to be polite.

Since then, of course I have ordered them on several occasions as an appetizer.

Considering the way Italians treat driving laws, enforcement of the new rules should be very interesting.

I'm sure that will work out the way the expect it to.

Now, I'm going to go re-examine my single, celibate, and sane rule, and make sure that's still operative.

Because, ora, sembra molto caldo nella stanza.

lmao!

You may wish to consider bookmarking the thread because I’m guessing that there will be considerably more activity on it tomorrow. It’s late Friday night now and people ‘may’ be just as enthusiastic or even more so tomorrow during the day.

I would suggest that we have barely scratched the surface in our goal of FULLY defining what constitutes ‘provocative clothing’ on ladies. There’s SO much work still to be done! ;-)
