Question

Im not a perve, lol - just wanted to be warned next time I go to Italia! :|

Answer 1

Yes, it is very common all over Europe.  Slim, tall, short, fat, young, old...they all do it.  Like someone else said, sometimes you really see stuff you just don't wanna see!  :)

Answer 2

I DON'T THINK SO

Answer 3

Yes, it is VERY common....I lived on Sardinia for two years..You see EVERYTHING topless..Somesome you want to forget!! :)

Answer 4

...what?????

Answer 5

No, it is not so common. It is more common in the rest of Europe, surely!

Answer 6

hey!

i live in italy, and yeah, it's normal....or actually topless women is perfectly normal!!! (that's the only way i can get a good tan!!! lol jk) some small kids run around naked.... however completely nude is illegal except on private beaches... and yeah, sumtimes it's disgusting cuz you'll see all kind of people topless......

so?? it's a religios country but there are controversies!!!!!

Answer 7

Topless: yes, Very common

Nude: no, only very small children or in private "specialized" beaches.

Girls usually go topless until they grow b*****s (however, many little girls prefer wearing bikinis like their moms, but just because they want to look like grown ups). Personally, I don't think this is disgusting at all...A bikini is rather unconfortable if you don't have b*****s to keep it in place!!!!!!

Answer 8

Nude or topless bathing in one of the most religious countries in the world??

Are you sure??

No, ain't gonna happen.  They even frown at men taking their shirts off.

Answer 9

Hey, I'm from Italy so trust me. Topless has been generally accepted since the early 90's - from memory, however nude is not, only in certain/secluded beaches, not public ones. Yes it's a religious country, however it has lots of contraddictions (and so do the US don't you think? :)

Answer 10

I'm italian and I never went to the beach nude or topless!!! I think it is common like all other country of the world!! bye

Answer 11

Yep, especially the men

Answer 12

Generally in Southern Europe it's much more common to see people topless on beaches, mainly because it's warmer. You don't generally see it in Ireland or Britain (the fresh wind can deter all but the hardiest of female nipples!), but it's not uncommon in Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia ...

Answer 13

I went to Italy this summer... And yes and whoever said its mostly the men isn't correct or at least the beach I went to it was WOMEN! And yes it was BAD

Answer 14

Women in topless are very common; full nude people on public beach, no :)

(and by the way Italy is waaay far to be "one of the most religious Country in the world)

Answer 15

It seemed to be fairly common the last time I was in Sorrento.
