Travelers visiting coastal areas in Italy have been warned about the practice of wearing swimwear in public, which is less accepted overseas. Local residents in Italy have expressed discomfort with tourists parading around in revealing clothing, and violators can face hefty fines. Certain towns and tourist hotspots, such as Sorrento, Praia a Mare, Rapallo, Barcelona, Mallorca, Lipari, Tropea, and Venice, have implemented dress codes that prohibit walking around in swimsuits or skimpy attire outside designated beach or pool areas. These measures aim to preserve local decorum, maintain the image of the town, and ensure a positive experience for residents and visitors alike.
