LOL, its funny to think that was scandallous until you remember that people wore a bathing gown in the tub - wearing clothing in a bathtub always sounded a bit odd to me. ;)
i know a few italians that honor the 18th century and follow suit!
I know a few non-italians too... lol
P.s. I thought they only wore bathing gowns because they had servants who were with them when they bathed? Sleeping seemed to be a more private affair...
Goodness!
