意大利小城斯塔比亞海堡近期頒布了41條“每位好市民都必須遵守”的新規(guī)定,其中包括禁止女性穿超短裙,以及禁止人們穿低腰牛仔褲等著裝規(guī)定,違反者將面臨最高達(dá)500歐元的罰款。該市市長(zhǎng)表示,頒布這一系列規(guī)定是通過(guò)打擊“吵鬧的、不守規(guī)矩或者行為不良的”人們來(lái)“恢復(fù)城市禮儀,改善共存環(huán)境”。在公園踢足球和在公共場(chǎng)所罵臟話也在新規(guī)定的禁止之列。自貝盧斯科尼上臺(tái)后,地方議會(huì)有了更多立法自主權(quán),因此,意大利很多地方都出臺(tái)了一些涉及瑣碎事務(wù)的法規(guī)。
Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples, intends to prohibit women from wearing provocative clothing. |
Women who wear miniskirts or show too much cleavage will face fines of up to 500 euros (£440) under new rules to be introduced by an Italian town.
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.
Italy has become entangled in a web of petty rules and regulations in the last two years, after the government of Silvio Berlusconi gave councils extra powers to tailor laws to tackle crime and anti-social behavior.
Across the nation, towns have banned a range of seemingly innocuous activities such as building sandcastles on the beach, kissing in cars and feeding stray cats.
