Francesco Benincasa, the mayor of the town, has reaffirmed a law that prohibits scantily clad visitors from the marina area of the town, the Local reported.

Those caught showing off too much flesh will face a fine ranging between £25 and £500. The town’s spokesperson Andrea Pellegrino said upholding the law, which was first introduced in 2011, is necessary “for the area’s image.”
