A Venice tourist from the Czech Republic who was sunbathing topless on a war memorial was fined $513 and banned from the city for 48 hours.
(CNN) — A female tourist was thrown out of Venice after she was caught posing for photos topless on a war memorial.
The 30-year-old from the Czech Republic stripped off last Friday afternoon, dumping her belongings on the monument -- which pays homage to Italy's war heroes -- as she went for a swim in the freezing lagoon, and then lay beside the statue of a murdered female partisan to pose for photos.
She was banned from Venice for 48 hours and fined $513.

Before South African high school students complete their final exams, they first walk the red carpet, pulling out all the stops for their celebratory matriculation, or ‘matric,’ balls. The photographer Alice Mann documented the increasingly lavish dances for five years in her new book, “The Night is Young.”
