Italian town bans bikinis with £425 fine for holidaymakers who break the rules

An Italian town is cracking down on tourists who wear bikinis in a bid to tackle 'indecency'. It comes after the mayor of Sorrento has announced plans to give out fines to those who break the rules.

The holiday hotspot has revealed their ban on bikinis which will see fines of up to €500 (approximately £425) for tourists who break the rules. The ban also applied to those who walk around Sorrento topless.

The Mirror reports that the ban does not apply when sitting by the pool or at a beach club. The new rules will be imposed when people are walking around the town, shops or heading to a restaurant.
