Is There a Dress Code Inside Churches?

In Italy, it matters what we wear, there is a dress code for visiting the church. It is forbidden to enter the church (chiesa) wearing shorts or skirts, sleeveless tops, tank tops,spaghetti straps, and uncovered shirts on your knees. Some churches have a dress code sign on the door, while others do not. Avoid wearing dress casually, flip-flops, are better dress shoes.

Also, especially in large churches, cathedrals, and cathedrals, there may be people at the door who drive out improperly dressed people. In the worst case, this happens after you've been waiting in line for a long time and only noticed it last because the sign is at the front door. Just be aware.
