Is it true that you cannot wear open toed shoes in the churches in Italy?

Where did you read that?

Pauline

No, it's not true.

You must cover your shoulders and knees. Your toes may be exposed.

I thought it was black patent leather shoes that you weren't supposed to wear LOL!

A friend of my daughter (age 22) just returned from Italy and told her that. Well, glad I do not have to trade my Birkenstocks in for a pair of black patent leather shoes, lol.

Sandi - you can wear the black patents if you aren't wearing a dress. It's that combination that's a no no!

sandi

Oh I see - black patent leather and a dress! LOL
