And against those tourists who walk around the city center in beach outfits. You face a fine of 75 euros. The topless ban also applies to men. “We cannot allow people to walk half naked in the city center, the police will be unyielding,” Mayor Mauro Armelao warned, according to the media.
If you are more than 50 meters from the beach, you must dress. Driving in a bathing suit on public transport should be punished in the future. “No one is prudish in Chioggia, but we demand respect for a city dedicated to tourism. It is not possible for me to see men in bathing suits or women in bikinis in supermarkets every day,” protested the mayor. He was responding to protests targeting “naked tourists” in the community.
The city of Portofino in Liguria also prohibits walking in the city in bathing suits. This also applies to men who stroll “topless” through the village. “Portofino is a jewel and you have to behave accordingly,” commented Mayor Matteo Vaicava. The mayor has signed an ordinance establishing a kind of “red zone” between the city center and the beaches. Tourist groups are forbidden to stop here.
