意大利海灘小鎮禁穿比基尼 最高罰款500歐元

It certainly won’t sit well with the local football team.

A seaside town in southern Italy has astonished locals and holiday-makers by instituting a ban on bikinis.

The coastal town of Vietri Sul Mare on the Amalfi Coast has barred anyone from showing too much flesh outside of the beach.

In the country that brought the world bunga bunga, the move has been met with disbelief.

Holiday makers walking around town in skimpy swimwear or bare-chested will now face a steep fine.

The restrictions against bikinis and bare chests was first brought in in 2010. However, the town’s mayor Franco Benincasa has now decided to enforce hefty fines in order to better protect the town's 'image'.

Offenders who are caught flaunting bare skin on streets, in public areas and, most of all on the marina of the upmarket seaside town, will face a fine of up to €500.

The ban is essential to maintain 'the area's image,' town spokeswoman Andrea Pellegrino told Italy's The Local.

Vietri Sul Mare's is not the first town in the area to implement the controversial move. In 2010, another coastal town in the region, Castellammare di Stabia, passed a similar ban, outlawing 'very skimpy clothes', alongside blasphemy and football kickabouts.

Local police commissioner Vincenzo Alfano said: 'The ban was created to protect the image and decorum of all the townspeople and all the tourists in the area.

'Very often we have witnessed indecent and shameful scenes of people entering public places such as bars and restaurants, shirtless or in costume.

‘In our opinion, it is an attitude that must be eliminated.'

Mayor Francesco Benincasa said: ‘By enforcing the law we wanted to warn those coming in Vietri that you need to observe a certain decorum when you are here.

‘As in many other seaside resorts of Italy, we in Vietri wanted to emphasize how respect and good behaviour go hand in hand with tourism. '

Violations will be strictly monitored by police and punished with a fine ranging from Euro 25 to 500.’據英國《每日郵報》7月3日報道，意大利阿馬爾菲海岸的濱海維耶特里禁止人們在海灘外穿比基尼。

意大利南部的一個海濱小鎮實施了比基尼禁令，這使當地人和度假者感到震驚。阿馬爾菲海岸的沿海小鎮維耶特里已禁止任何人在海灘外暴露太多。在該國，穿比基尼給世界一種荒淫的感覺，此舉也受到了懷疑。度假者們穿着暴露的泳衣或赤裸着上身在鎮上走動將面臨高額罰款。

比基尼禁令和赤裸胸膛的限制在2010第一次實施。但是，該市市長弗蘭克已經決定執行高額罰款，以便更好地保護城市的“形象”。在街上，在公共領域，在大多數的高檔海濱小鎮碼頭被抓的違令者都會面臨着最高500歐元的罰款。

這項禁令對維護該地區的形象是必要的，城鎮的發言人安德列·佩萊格里諾告訴意大利媒體《當地人》（The Local）。

在這個地區，維耶特里不是第一個實施這一有爭論運動的城鎮。在2010年，該地區的另一個城鎮， 斯塔比亞海堡，通過一條類似的禁令，穿非常輕薄的衣服，說褻瀆的言辭，漫不經心地踢足球都是違法的。

當地警察局長文森佐·阿爾法諾說：“這項禁令是爲了保護該地區所有市民和遊客的形象以及禮儀。”“我們經常會看到不雅和可恥的場面，人們進入公共場所，如酒吧和餐館，都沒穿衣服或穿着暴露裝。“在我們看來，這種態度必須消除。”

市長弗朗西斯科說：“通過實施法律，我們想提醒那些來濱海維耶特里的人們，當你們到這裏來時，你們需要遵守一定的禮節。”

“正如意大利許多其他的海濱旅遊勝地，在維耶特里，我們想強調尊重人和良好的行爲如何與旅遊齊頭並進這個問題。”“警察會嚴格監視違法行爲，對違法行爲將處以25歐元到500歐元不等的罰款。”
