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.

Dude, go take a shower, you smell like tuna.
This is ground for riots!!
The imagery, instantly beamed around the world, of young Italian ladies dressed in 'provocative' attire engaged in fierce widespread rioting with fully-armored Police would likely cause the Italian Government to fall as well as spurring an entirely new Reality TV series. The events would constitute an epic cultural landmark and the TV producers would make billions worldwide.

I have a different theory...
I used to frequent an Italian neighborhood in Mass, you know hair and chewing gum. It has always puzzled me how the girls shed their Levis so quickly in the passion pits at the beach, I asked my friend, Frankie, and he is as mystified as I am, a practiced mating ritual?
Frank married an Irish girl and I married a Polock, so the mystery remains unsolved.
Vote every member of that council out on their donkeys!!! That ruling is like walking on the flag, worse!
It's never a wise idea to get between patriotic Italian ladies and their fashion designers......
That will certainly make the tourists flock to the town. They better be ready for the emos...
If you could post any pictures that would be most helpfull, for ..education purposes.
And please restrain from the Helen pics
Education is what Free Republic is all about, and that process contnues at this thread :-)
We are truly Blessed that nobody has had the exceptionally poor taste to soil our readers' neural landscapes with HT pictures up to this point. We can only hope and pray that anyone contemplating such a vile move will understand that such a choice would not be appreciated by anyone. The joke became stale long ago.
That being said, so much work still needs to be done regarding the distillation and refinement of the definition of 'provocative ladies' attire'. Forward, Onward, Upward and Outward!

Given that Raquel Welch would, entirely as a result of her exhuberant figure, be fined under this law regardless of what she may or may not be wearing, I don't feel that posting photos of her in this thread would constitute an 'off topic' post but would instead enhance our understanding of the concept of 'provocation' as it applies to the overall idea of mystical feminine allure. Full steam ahead! ;-)
BTW, her film "Hannie Caulder" has been issued on DVD for the first time this year!
=) Great thread. Thank you!
I’m not ready for the emos.
Is anyone, ever?
I love butt-dimples!
Amen to that!!!
I consider CC, Raquel Welch and Ann Margret as the Triple Crown of beauty.
What about a low-slung miniskirt?
If plumbers can no longer air their crack, will they picket?
Hottie Ping!

Thanks to Stoat for the heads up.
Tell me Laz, would you hit ‘em? Sono confuso.
