29 Oct - The mayor of the southern Italian seaside town of Castellammare di Stabia got his way on Monday, when the city council approved a ban on football games in public parks and squares, blasphemy out loud and "very skimpy clothes". Conservative Mayor Luigi Bobbio said that miniskirts and other provocative outfits would still be allowed as long as they were not too revealing. "its a matter of commonsense, of common decency,: he says. A handful of local female politicians protested in front of the town's city hall during Monday's vote, if any, wore miniskirts. The measures also included a ban on men going around shirtless. Violations will be punished with a fine of up to EUR 500. The measures went into force immediately, Bobbio said.
