The cliffside town of Positano has banned bare chests, swimwear, and bare feet in its historic center, with fines ranging from 125 to 500 euros. This ordinance aims to preserve the town's appearance and enforce a standard of dress outside of the beach area.
“The mayor introduced an ordnance banning bare chests, swimwear and bear feet anywhere in the Historic Center, with this sole exception of the beach itself.”
“Break it and you are looking and a fine somewhere between one hundred and twenty five and five hundred euros.”
