On Monday morning at around 7.30 a.m. the woman was caught on camera by appalled locals posing for pictures with just a red strip of material covering her front, in front of the cathedral doors, which were cast in 1067 in the-then Constantinople, and beneath a mosaic of St. Andrew, whose relics are said to be housed inside.
The location of the shoot was particularly hurtful to members of the community, said art historian and writer Laura Thayer, who who lives in Amalfi
"The Duomo is a place of worship and a place very close to the hearts of the Amalfitani. That specific backdrop touches the historic memory of the locals. The bronze doors hearken back to the days of the Republic of Amalfi. These doors open for processions, for weddings, for funerals -- moments that make life."
The cathedral -- which dates back to the ninth century -- is dedicated to the apostle St. Andrew, with his relics said to be kept there since 1206. It was built during Amalfi's heyday as a maritime superpower rivaling Genoa, Venice and Pisa. Today its narrow streets are overwhelmed by tourists.
Local website Positano News, which published the video, said that the trio -- who hadn't sough permission for the shoot -- had been caught by police before leaving the town. It added that their equipment didn't appear to be professional.
A representative of the Amalfi police told CNN that the trio were English: a male photographer, plus the model and assistant.

Saint Andrew————
He was sentenced to death by crucifixion by the Romans in Greece, but asked to be crucified on a diagonal cross as he felt he wasn’t worthy to die on the same shape of cross as Jesus. This diagonal cross is now used on the Scottish flag.
Legend suggests that parts of his remains were later transported to the ”ends of the earth”. That place was Scotland. More specifically a town on the north east coast called Kilrymont, now St Andrews.
Also, the famous St.Andrews Golf Course uses an X shape symbol to be like the crucifixion X where St.Andrew was tortured to death.

Truthfully, I am tired of seeing naked ugly people.
To some it might be tempting.
Not to me. UGH.
“… the woman was caught on camera by appalled locals posing for pictures with just a red strip of material covering her front…”
Why were appalled locals posing for pictures.
I guess she photobombed them.
“..their equipment didn’t appear to be professional.”
We’re talking about women tourists, right?
Appalling; but, thankfully, they weren’t Americans.
..... with just a red strip of material covering her front, ....

Looked more like enough fabric to cover a school bus.
Disrespectful skank. I would have bitch-slapped her down every one of those steps.
Whether you like the Catholic church or not is irrelevant. For the parishioners, that is God’s house.
When my husband and I went to the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica, I wore a modest dress that covered my knees and shoulders.
Hope skank girl is arrested for indecent exposure.
With the scarlet cloth she was probably trying to represent the Whore of Babylon, which is extremely disrespectful and pretty sordid.
Accurate in that context though.
Society has stopped putting mentally ill people into assylums and the reason is democrats know mentally ill people usually vote for democrats.
The Rats would still fill out and harvest bogus ballots in asylums.
It was always in a motel, and it was never anyone you'd want to see like that.
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE MENTALLY ILL.
All you have to do is listen to the tortured stupid logic that they spew. Typical case in point...Pedo Joe, himself.
Pedo thinks our economy is good and our border is secure...totally NUTS.
Today’s democrats
And the WORST group of people who encourage this insanity are the MEDIA.
Proves my point, dear musician.
From the video...she looks quite shapely.
