意大利小城斯塔比亚海堡近期颁布了41条“每位好市民都必须遵守”的新规定，其中包括禁止女性穿超短裙，以及禁止人们穿低腰牛仔裤等着装规定，违反者将面临最高达500欧元的罚款。该市市长表示，颁布这一系列规定是通过打击“吵闹的、不守规矩或者行为不良的”人们来“恢复城市礼仪，改善共存环境”。在公园踢足球和在公共场所骂脏话也在新规定的禁止之列。自贝卢斯科尼上台后，地方议会有了更多立法自主权，因此，意大利很多地方都出台了一些涉及琐碎事务的法规。

　　Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples, intends to prohibit women from wearing provocative clothing。

　　Women who wear miniskirts or show too much cleavage will face fines of up to 500 euros (£440) under new rules to be introduced by an Italian town。

　　In a move sharply at odds with a country which produced the likes of Monica Bellucci and Sophia Loren, the town of Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples, intends to prohibit women from wearing provocative clothing。

　　The town's council also wants to ban men and women from wearing low-slung jeans as part of a list of 41 new rules that "every good citizen must respect"。

　　The centre-Right mayor, Luigi Bobbio, said it was all part of an effort to "restore urban decorum and improve coexistence" by targeting people who were "rowdy, unruly or simply badly behaved"。

　　Playing football in parks and gardens and swearing in public will also be banned under new regulations which will be put forward for approval at a council meeting on Monday。

　　If the new regulations are approved, offenders will face fines of between 25 and 500 euros。

　　A local parish priest, Don Paolo Cecere, said he supported the crackdown。

　　"It's the right decision. In this way we can fight the spread of sexual molestation," he told a local newspaper, the Cronache di Napoli。

　　Italy has become entangled in a web of petty rules and regulations in the last two years, after the government of Silvio Berlusconi gave councils extra powers to tailor laws to tackle crime and anti-social behavior。

　　Across the nation, towns have banned a range of seemingly innocuous activities such as building sandcastles on the beach, kissing in cars and feeding stray cats。
