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。

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

In a move sharply at odds¹ with（与……争执） 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 provocative²（刺激的，挑拨的） 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（礼仪，端正） and improve coexistence" by targeting people who were "rowdy（吵闹的，粗暴的） , 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, offenders³ will face fines of between 25 and 500 euros.

A local parish priest（牧师） , Don Paolo Cecere, said he supported the crackdown.

"It's the right decision. In this way we can fight the spread of sexual molestation⁴（干扰，折磨） ," he told a local newspaper, the Cronache di Napoli.

Italy has become entangled⁵（卷入） 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（无害的，无伤大雅的） activities such as building sandcastles on the beach, kissing in cars and feeding stray（迷路的，离群的） cats.
