Castellammare di Stabia mulls miniskirt ban

ITALIAN officials have threatened to ban miniskirts and low-cut tops in an effort to clean up a seaside town's raunchy image.

Locals of Castellammare di Stabia would also be barred from using blasphemous language and playing soccer in public parks.

The new laws are being pushed forward by Luigi Bobbio, the centre-right mayor of Castellammare di Stabia, ANSA reports.

Mr Bobbio will ask council members in the seaside town, close to Naples, southern Italy, to vote though a raft of measures designed to ''restore urban decorum and facilitate better civil co-existence.''

Offenders would face fines of up to $696 for flouting the proposed rules, ANSA added.

''I think it's the right decision,'' Don Paolo Cecere told the Cronache di Napoli daily newspaper. ''It's also a way of combating the rise in sexual harassment''.
