Nudity in Italy

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Many people think of Italy as a country with a very old history (which is true) and conservative values. However, after walking down the streets of Italy, I noticed that they are a lot more liberal (and some would say vulgar) when it comes to depicting the human body. They frequently use nude photos (especially of women) in their advertising techniques, which almost never happens in North America, at least not for something that isn't supposed to be edgy or racy. Here are a couple images I've seen since our trip to Italy began (sorry for the quality, but most were through store windows in a hurry).

Some images are playful (and are from the side)....






Some images are just of topless women...




And some, well, I'll leave up to you to decide what you think of them....
