An Italian town is warning tourists against strolling through its streets shirtless or in swimwear \u2014 threatening hefty fines for visitors who ignore the rules.<\/p>\n

Varenna, a popular lakeside village on Lake Como<\/a> in northern Italy, recently updated its urban police regulations to prohibit visitors from walking around town shirtless or wearing only swimwear.<\/p>\n

“Throughout the entire municipal territory of Varenna, it is prohibited to remain shirtless or wearing only swimwear, except on beaches, piers and boat docks,” says the town’s tourism website.<\/p>\n

The fine can range from about $57 to about $228 \u2014 or \u20ac50 to \u20ac200.<\/p>\n

Officials said the new rules are aimed at addressing the effects of overtourism<\/a>, as hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the village each year.<\/p>\n

“Varenna is a wonderful village, and we are proud to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world every year,” Mauro Manzoni, Varenna’s mayor, told The Guardian.<\/p>\n

“However, our residents\u2019 quality of life cannot be sacrificed on the altar of mass tourism<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Italy’s national statistics agency says that Varenna spans about 4.85 square miles and has a population of 646 residents \u2014 highlighting the challenges that mass tourism can pose for the small village.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the Municipality of Varenna for comment.<\/p>\n

On a Reddit forum discussing the new rules, many users voiced support for the policy.<\/p>\n

“I wish more places would do this,” another commenter said.<\/p>\n

A third person chimed in, “They should implement this in Thailand too.”<\/p>\n

One Redditor said that the penalties<\/a> were more surprising than the rule itself.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve seen a few small towns around Europe that have signs about no swimwear when you’re off the beach and walking around town,” the user wrote. “I haven\u2019t seen fines for it, though.”<\/p>\n

The move follows similar action taken in France last summer.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the seaside resort of Les Sables-d’Olonne reminded locals and tourists<\/a> that walking around town topless or in swimwear was prohibited.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a question of respect for locals who don\u2019t want people wandering around their town half-naked,” the town mayor wrote at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
