Those who enjoy strolling through resort streets in swimsuits or with bare torsos should choose another vacation spot. The authorities of the picturesque fishing town of Varenna, located on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, have introduced new behavior rules for tourists. From now on, appearing in public places in beach attire can result in fines ranging from 50 to 200 euros. Varenna's mayor, Mauro Manzoni, acknowledged that such measures may seem too strict; however, according to him, the municipality had no other choice. "Varenna is a beautiful town, and we take pride in welcoming hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world each year. But the quality of life for our residents should not become a victim of mass tourism," he stated to local media. ### Residents Tired of Half-Naked Tourists Varenna, an ancient town, has a population of only about 650 people. The narrow streets and dense historical buildings make the flow of vacationers particularly noticeable, and the habit of some tourists walking around the town in swimsuits or with bare torsos has long irritated the locals. One shop owner supported the new rules. "You can dress however you want at the beach. But if you are walking through the streets, entering shops, restaurants, churches, or squares, you should dress appropriately," he noted. Other residents also believe that such restrictions have long been overdue, as long as they are actually enforced. ### Restrictions Also Affect Tour Groups The ban on walking in beach attire is not the only measure. **Authorities have also limited the size of tourist groups: now there can be no more than 25 people in a group. Additionally, tour guides are prohibited from using portable loudspeakers, and groups are not allowed to block the narrow streets of the historic center.** According to the mayor, all these measures aim to restore peace to Varenna and make coexistence between local residents and numerous tourists more comfortable. Varenna has become yet another European tourist center trying to find a balance between popularity among travelers and the comfortable life of local residents. Authorities hope that the new rules will help preserve the atmosphere of the historic town without deterring tourists.
