Italy laws anyone going on holiday needs to be aware of or risk £8,500 fines

With fantastic food, beautiful beaches and amazing architecture, it's easy to see why Italy is one of the world's leading tourist destinations. But Britons are being warned of some strange and unusual laws while having fun in the European sunshine - or risk raking in some substantial fines.

The law can vary depending on the province you visit, but many top tourist destinations have some strict rules and regulations in place to discourage bad behaviour. For example, in certain cities you can find yourself in trouble for simply sitting on steps, or eating and drinking within earshot of a historic monument or church.

Here, The Express breaks down some of the lesser-known laws to help holidaymakers keep a hold of their Euros for tourism, instead of having to splurge out on penalties.
