There was a time when fined for wearing a bikini on the beach

The Adriatic coast of Italy in Rimini, 1957. What happens? We see a policeman that writes a fine to a charming woman relaxing on the beach in the open bikini. Seems a little COP grins. Italian totally serious, standing confidently, demonstrating that she was not nearly as ashamed. To be honest, and didn’t know serious it was. Began to dig, and there is a Paradise for conservatives.

Many are surprised: as a penalty for a bikini?! What is the violation?! Photograph of Rimini. He is a real symbol of how fleeting time is. What until recently was considered inappropriate, today it’s completely unoriginal. The fact that many modern-day bans will become an anachronism over time.

The bikini was popular in Ancient Rome.

In the photo, the frescoes of Ancient Rome.

Women’s swimwear haunted conservatively-minded people, even before open bikini. We need only recall how in 1922, on one coast of the United States to measure the distance from the edge of the beach costume knee!

1925.: A police measure bathing suit Betty Fringle on palm beach to ensure that it conforms to the regulations introduced by beach censors.

1921: Chicago female police officers check for violations on the length of the bathing suit

April 1922 Chicago, Illinois: two guilty bathers accompanied by a woman COP. Girls did not fit in the parameters of censorship for the beach.

Bikini created by Parisian designer L. Réard and presented to the public in the summer of 1946. And almost immediately it gained popularity, but the world at that time was ruled by the conservatives, which is similar to the swimsuit did not like.

In the magazines that no self-respecting woman, for anything in the world would wear THAT. Catholics are not, strictly condemned this outfit and imposed a ban on wearing it in public places. Such bathing suits have been banned on all the beaches of Australia, Spain, France, the Italian Republic. And it wasn’t a formal ban, the police do prescribed fixed penalties for non-compliance.

Progress, of course won. Many of the legendary Actresses of cinema, including M. Monroe, B. Bardot and A. Taylor, appeared in an open bathing suit in the films. Bikini has become very fashionable and since then, bans on him overturned on the beaches, almost all countries of the world.
