Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Weird Laws in Italy
About ten years ago, the state allowed local mayors to implement laws to quash their own particular
‘security’ threats. The result? Countless giggle-worthy (if a little over the top) regulations! Here’s what
you need to know to avoid a brush with the law…
1) Leave your skirts at home, boys!
Be it a tutu, a mini or a sarong – men aren’t allowed to wear one (in public, that is!). So, if you’re invited to a dress-up party, choose a costume that won’t put you behind bars.
2) Never forget to smile in Milan
Okay, not ‘never’. Apparently you’re allowed to stop smiling at funerals or in a hospital. The idea was to market Milan as a friendly, receptive city. And it is! Also…
3) Pics, but no selfie sticks in Milan
This global capital of fashion and design has outlawed selfie sticks in some popular tourist areas. Why?To avoid what they deem to be anti-social behaviour!
4) You’re not allowed to die…
…but only in Falciano del Massico, Campania. Mayor Giulio Cesare Fava passed this law after the town’s cemetery ran out of space! We guess you won’t really have to worry about being prosecuted for this one.
5) Three’s a crowd in Rome
Feel like singing, dancing, eating or drinking in the streets of Rome? That’s fine! Just don’t do it with more than one other person. Any group of three or more can be fined hundreds of euros for doing this.
