I will be in Rome on business in October and my husband will be joining me at the end - we've been to Italy three times so we've seen the major sites (some several times) so we are debating about "doing" the Italian Riveria or the Amalfi Coast - anyone out there done either? Have any advice - considering the time of year, etc.?

I've done both and I agree with Mike. Capri is stunningly beautiful and the Amalfi Coast has great charm. Though I do like the town of Camogli on the Italian Riveria and there is a great hike on the coastline there, the Amalfi Coast (Ravelo and amalfi) is spectacular.

For sure- Positano and Capri are first class- do the Amalfi.

Yes, they are right- if you only have a few days- go to Sorrento, Positano and Capri. And you should stay over night in Capri, as it is very crowded during the day. The real charm only can be seen in the evning. Sitting on "La Piazetta" with a glas of prosecco. And during the day- go to one of the nice beach clubs.
Have a great time!

Has Italy enacted their threatened law (that no one exactly understands) where a woman on a beach can sort of be topless but if she gets up or walks around, she has to put her top back on?
I saw that written up somewhere and thought it rather bizarre.

No more strange than Brazil- in Rio the girls from Ipanema can wear hardly anything on the beach but once they leave they have to cover up. AND they do enforce that law.

Well, putting on a top if walking around is quite common in Europe:) Usually no one minds being topless while lying on the beach, but walking around is not much appreciated at many places. I can not imagine a law about this though.

I wasn't talking topless- even a regular bathing suit has to be covered up once they leave the beach.

I never had any problems with being topless at any Italian beach - and I`m never wearing a top when Iīm at the beach.I donīt know if there really exists such a funny law as it is assumed (I donīt believe it, I think this was a special newspaper duck from summer 2003 - it would be too long to explain this duck here). But if the Berlusconi government has really introduced such a law meanwhile, nobody in Italy takes care of it. I was never the only topless woman at an Italian beach equal where and when I was. It was always quite normal not only to lay down and sunbathe topless but also to walk around topless, to swim topless and even at some beaches to sit topless in the beach bars. Only when your thong bottom is bothering you too much it seems to me that itīs perhaps better to visit a special nude beach. And the boys became a little bit boring during the last years.
