Revenge travel has been in full swing since tourism resumed with the lifting of Covid-19 lockdowns in most countries this year.

And in Europe, Italy in particular, it has often looked as if visitors have been letting out some pent-up craziness this summer.

They have been caught driving a car down Rome's Spanish Steps, skinny dipping and surfing through the canals in Venice, and sunbathing topless on a war memorial.

This week, a woman was seen posing almost naked for a photoshoot on the steps of the historic cathedral of Amalfi.

Two others with her were also facing charges of "obscene acts". All three were visitors to the picturesque Amalfi Coast, CNN reported.

They were spotted on Monday morning by appalled local people. The woman stood on the steps of the cathedral, in front of its massive centuries-old door, holding up a piece of red cloth in front. She seemed to be naked otherwise.

The others, a man and a woman, seemed to be working on the photoshoot.

A local woman recorded a video clip that was shared on social media.

The cathedral, which dates back to the ninth century, is still in use.

A local website said the woman had arrived fully clothed before stripping and posing with the cloth.

Local media also reported the three had not sought permission for the photoshoot, and CNN quoted the police as saying they were English tourists who did it merely as something to remember the trip by.

Looks like they may end up with a bit more of a memory than they bargained for if they are found guilty.

The Duomo is a place of worship and a place very close to the hearts of the Amalfitani. That specific backdrop touches the historic memory of the locals. The bronze doors hearken back to the days of the Republic of Amalfi. These doors open for processions, for weddings, for funerals -- moments that make life. Yes, it's beautiful, but Amalfi is so much more than a pretty backdrop for a photo on social media. [2]

 The woman was photographed on Monday morning with bystanders appalled posing in front of the cathedral doors, which were cast in 1067 in the city of Constantinople and beneath a mosaic of St. Andrew, whose relics are rumoured to be kept inside, with just a red strip of material covering her front, CNN reported.

Members of the community were particularly upset by the shooting's location, art historian and writer Laura Thayer, who lives in Amalfi was quoted as saying by CNN. "That it happened at the church is what made the episode so shocking," she told CNN. [2]

The ninth-century church, which is dedicated to the apostle St. Andrew, is reported to have housed his relics since 1206. It was built during Amalfi's heyday as a maritime superpower rivalling Genoa, Venice and Pisa Today, its narrow streets are overwhelmed by tourists. [2]
