Because Italy seems to be so dominated by the Catholic church, you might not automatically think that there would be a ton of nude beaches in Italy. But even though the Catholic homebase is in the country, and even though the vast majority of Italians self-identify as Catholics, they are also Europeans - and Europeans tend to have much more progressive views about sex and nudity than Americans do. So, while there may not be as many famous nude beaches in Italy as there are in other Mediterranean or European countries, there are definitely some.
