The mayor of Sorrento, Massimo Coppola, said the exposed skin is upsetting locals and warned it would now result in fines of up to £425.

The mayor of the picturesque coastal town near Pompeii and Naples said he had recently witnessed 'behaviour that is seen by the majority of people as contrary to decorum and to the decency that characterises civilised cohabitation'.

He fears it will damage the image of the town which offers stunning views over the Bay of Naples, The Times reports.

He added: 'The continuation of this situation, as well as causing discomfort and unease in the resident population and among visitors, could lead to a negative judgment on the quality of life in our town, with consequences for its image and for tourism.'

Sorrento Municipal Police officers will be patrolling the streets to make sure people are not walking shirtless or in their swimwear.

Local journalist Max Tamanti said seaside towns across Italy now resemble 'Dante's Inferno' due to the swathe of tourists wearing swimming costumes in public.

He said summer resort towns who survive from the influx of holidaymakers cannot allow the 'macabre procession' of barely-clothed beach-goers.

Other coastal hotspots have imposed similar bans, such as Praia a Mare in Calabria, where walking barefoot and wearing inappropriate clothing is forbidden.
