Topless Tourists in Venice Fined

Where: Venice, Italy

We warned you about baring your chest in Venice, but apparently not all of you were listening. The city now has half a dozen official stewards enforcing new-ish rules that you can't set up a picnic in Saint Mark's Square, throw trash on the street or walk around with your shirt off.

During August, over a hundred tourists were given the minimum fine of €25 ($34) and thousands were asked to move to the designated picnic areas. Nobody seems to mind too much, but plenty of people agree that the flocks of pigeons might be a bigger problem than a few bare-chested tourists.
