The picturesque town of Varenna on Lake Como in Italy is cracking down on tourists who walk around in skimpy beachwear away from the shore. Under a new rule, visitors who wear bikinis or go bare-chested after leaving the beach could face fines of up to $228. The measure applies to both men and women and aims to enforce a standard of decorum in public spaces. Varenna, a popular destination on the famous lake, often sees crowds of tourists during summer months. Many visitors head straight from the beach or lake to cafes, shops, or streets without covering up. Local authorities say the rule is meant to maintain a respectful atmosphere. However, opinion is divided. Some tourists and locals support the dress code, arguing that swimwear is inappropriate in town centers. Others criticize it as overly strict, saying it unfairly targets vacationers trying to enjoy their day. The fines are among the highest in the region for such violations. Travelers are now advised to bring a cover-up or shirt when leaving the beach. Varenna is not alone; other Italian hotspots have introduced similar rules in recent years to manage tourist behavior.
