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定，違反者將面臨最高達500歐元的罰款。該市市長表示，頒布這一系列規定是通過打擊“吵鬧的、不守規矩或者行為不良的”人們來“恢復城市禮儀，改善共存環境”。在公園踢足球和在公共場所罵臟話也在新規定的禁止之列。自貝盧斯科尼上臺后，地方議會有了更多立法自主權，因此，意大利很多地方都出臺了一些涉及瑣碎事務的法規。

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.
