 Italian
women face 500 euro fine for wearing miniskirts in Castellammare di
Stabia, near Naples.
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 nutter 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.
