Lauren Quacquarelli, a Brit currently living in Italy, revealed the little-known rules for tourists heading to the country.

She said on her TikTok: “Don’t make this mistake in Cefalu, Sicily and risk getting a fine.

“So it’s actually illegal to walk around in your bikini or your swimming costume.

“You can’t walk around topless as a male or female otherwise the police will fine you.

“So make sure when you’re leaving the beach to put a top on.”

People shared their own experience of it, with one saying: “I got yelled at last year for this, luckily no fine.”

Another said: “I was in Capri, walking through the Piazzetta with shorts and the upper bikini, the local Police stopped me asking to get dressed or they’d fine me.”

However, others said they are less strict.

Someone pointed out: “99.99 per cent of the time the Municipal Police will just ask you to please put a shirt on. No other consequences except a big smile from them.”

The strict rules are in place across all of Italy. not just on the island of Sicily.

Tiktoker Marti pointed this out, saying in a video she said: “This is a PSA for all the girls going to Italy for a Euro summer.

“You are likely to get a fine if you wear something like this around the beach town.

“If you’re planning on going to the beach, just bring an extra T-shirt with you so you can cover up and the old Italian ladies and men will be happy.”

It’s not just bikinis either.

Tourists have pointed out that wearing revealing dresses could get you banned from tourist attractions.

This is because many of the religious churches and cathedrals do not allow visitors to have bare shoulders or legs.

American tourist Jacki explained: “Ok, so anyone planning to wear cute s*** like this in Europe should listen up.

“Because while it looks f****** great in photos, on this day in Rome, I couldn’t get into the Pantheon, the Vatican, or the Museum of the Dead because this dress was too s*****. “

“You can’t have your shoulders out, you can’t have your boobs out, and you definitely can’t have cutouts. Also, my dress was backless.”

Here are some other clothes rules that could get you in trouble on holiday, including wearing football shirts in Spain or camouflage outfits in the Caribbean.
