No mini-skirts, halter tops, shorts and overalls. It was probably made a long time ago and hasn't been refurbished. Still broken in the sense that it is actually broken.

_@_v - no lepers?

I'd guess its "no tank tops" more than overalls.

I think its basically trying to convey the message "Don't wear revealing clothing" in a way that any language can understand. (considering this is the Vatican City) Unfortunately, it fails.

Believe Alex and Haggai are correct -- St. Peter's and most of the other tourist-destination churches in Italy try to discourage people from wearing tanktops, shorts or very short skirts, as they are all still active as places of worship.

Broken in that the sign is both unclear and, as Alex said, broken.

Anybody also notice that the red X is taped on? Did they set up this sign before for some other purpose?

And the persons leg has fallen off? And a persons shoulder has been bitten off?

Maybe they're implying, "No revealing outfits are allowed. Any violaters are bitten by sharks and are not hospitalized."

ROFL.

"And the persons leg has fallen off? And a persons shoulder has been bitten off?"

Obviously, the entire sign was constructed from adhesive forms (including the red X) and certain parts have come unstuck.
