For example, &#8220;Not breaking the law&#8221; is an approach that has successfully eased the transition period for many expatriates as they move to Italy. Though some laws may seem to be ridiculous and\/or seriously outdated, it serves new residents well to familiarize themselves with laws and customs of their new home, in order to avoid any unnecessary transgressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expatriates in Italy come from around-the-globe, and each country-of-origin has it&#8217;s own set of arcane legalese with which to trip-up the unwary. For instance, newcomers from Kansas, in the United States, always want to know if it is legal to fish bare-handed in Italy, a practice still banned in that state. You can always spot the American &#8220;newbies&#8221; from Louisville, Kentucky: they&#8217;re the ones dancing with dizzy delight at finding that Italian law, as opposed to the harsh decrees of Louisville, does not forbid the carrying of an ice-cream-cone in one&#8217;s back pocket. French farmers can hardly wait to get to Italy, where they can start naming their pigs after Napoleon, something they can&#8217;t legally do in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We, at <a title=\"homes for sale in Italy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gate-away.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gate-Away.com<\/a>, take pride in our efforts to keep our foreign investors who want to move to Italy up-to-date and fully informed about all pertinent data that may have a bearing upon their pending purchases, so we have, in the following section, provided a cogent sampling of<strong> some Italian legal esoterica<\/strong> that is designed, with our non-Italian friends in mind, to help investors to steer clear of potentiality murky legal channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Down on frowns in Milano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s right, break out the &#8220;happy face&#8221; when you are out-and-about in Milan, where the lugubrious, downcast, sullen, sulky, morose, and gloomy are tasked-by-law to wipe away the tears and erase the frown lines. The only exceptions are funerals and hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prudence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gate-away.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DivietoCostume_ready1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Keep shirt and coverup on\" class=\"wp-image-951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gate-away.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DivietoCostume_ready1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gate-away.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/DivietoCostume_ready1.jpg 163w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can speculate on the behavior that spawned some of the sillier sounding laws, but that doesn&#8217;t change their validity. At <strong>Eraclea<\/strong>, just to the north and east of Venice, not only <em>must shirts be worn on the beach<\/em>, but is forbidden to play ball, collect shells, or even to build sandcastles. Keep it modest, neat, and tidy if you are headed to the beaches of<strong> Lerici<\/strong>, in Liguria. <em>Coverups must be worn to-and-from the beach<\/em>, and it&#8217;s a no-no to hang towels and swimwear from outside balconies or window sills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PDA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gate-away.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/bacio-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"No PDA\" class=\"wp-image-941\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Bari, si, Eboli, no: If some of that legendary Italian romance is calling to you, know where you are when you answer the call. The powers-that-be in <strong>Eboli<\/strong> decided that even a little bit is too much, at least when it comes to PDA&#8217;s, or &#8220;Public Displays of Affection&#8221;. Back-seat necking is a no-no, and can be punishable by a fine of 500 euros. In<strong> Bari<\/strong>, however, discreet indiscretion is permitted in designated areas, for a fee. So, feel free to express &#8220;free love&#8221;, though it isn&#8217;t &#8220;free&#8221; to do so. Parking fees, with incremental \u00bd hour increases, are the rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who&#8217;s Wearing the Pants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, in Italy, anybody can wear pants, men and women, but that doesn&#8217;t work-in-reverse when it comes to skirts. <em>Skirts on men is against the law<\/em>, so pack shorts and trousers before you head out the door. If you want to maintain the proper distance between you and a jail cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La Dolce Vita in Perpetuo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gate-away.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Falciano-vietato-morire-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"To die is forbidden\" class=\"wp-image-955\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Live &#8220;the good life forever&#8221; in the village of<strong> Falciano del Massico<\/strong>&#8230; or else!

Apparently the town has no cemetery of its own, so the local populace has been interring loved ones in a neighboring town, which has reportedly been unhappy with the arrangement. The towns squabbled-and-squabbled without fruitful results, leading the mayor of Falciano del Massico to ban the wide-spread practice of mortality that has been going-on for centuries in his fair village.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you move to a new country, such as Italy for instance, it behooves you to &hellip; <a class=\"card__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gate-away.com\/blog\/kidding-law\/\">Read More <span class=\"icon\"><br \/>\n    <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\">\n        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.gate-away.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/gateaway\/dist\/icons\/icons.svg#assets--src--icons--arrow-right\"><\/use>\n    <\/svg><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":958,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,217],"tags":[92],"class_list":["post-932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","category-living-in-italy","tag-italian-laws"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>No Kidding -- It&#039;s The Law!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are planning your journey or move to Italy?
