And the last of the trilogy of funny tales in the news was of a Venetian with decidedly interesting photographic tastes.
An unnamed Venetian man was arrested for photographing women's bottoms .... now as there are entire web sites with "Voyeur content such as 'Upskirts', it seems mildly odd that the police should be particularly interested in him, until you read on and discover that he had photographed over 3,000 different ladies bottoms.
Police said he was filming through a small hole in the side of his black holdall whenever women stopped or bent down to pick something up, he was seen trying to angle the bag behind them to get 'Upskirt' shots.
He has been charged with infringement of privacy. It is a crime which could earn this 38-year-old Italian from six months to four years in jail, but in fact he will likely be fined, although whether his wife is quite as understanding is another matter!
What struck me as funny about this story, was that men have been photographing women's backsides in Italy for a hundred years, without it ever being a crime ..... Ah well, the worlds a funny old place these days.
