If you are plnning a holiday (vacation) in the Italian seaside resort of Castellammare di Stabia, don't bother to pack any of your minisirts, because you might end up with a hefty fine–or even in jug?
A seaside city in Italy is planning to ban miniskirts and other revealing clothing to improve what the mayor calls standards of public decency.
Castellammare di Stabia is trying to be the latest location in Italy to make use of new powers to crack down on what is deemed to be anti-social behaviour.
Mayor Luigi Bobbio said the regulations would help "restore urban decorum and facilitate better civil co-existence".
Offenders would face fines of between €25 ($35) and €500 ($696).

Perhaps Italian men are easier to arouse than others, or is it that Mayor Bobbio gets dazzled too easily?
