Acceptability of Short Pants in Italy?

Aside from churches (where I know they are generally forbidden),
what is the acceptability of short pants on men and women in Italy?
I'm talking about nice-looking khakis, not exercise shorts,
and not short-shorts.

If it helps/matters, I'm particularly interested in the acceptability
of them in Rome, the Amalfi coast area, Florence, and the Tuscan
countryside.

At least for St. Peter's in Rome, short pants are acceptable so long as
they're the 'long' kind.

No problem at all, everywhere in Italy people dress as they want.

About as acceptable as men without a tie or women without elbow-length
gloves in Los Angeles.

You can wear, here in Italy, what you want.
But, after, don't wonder yourself if the people laugh about you!

RIGHT!
Stop the orrible Iraq war.
Their actual dictator (Bush) is not better than the precedent (S. Hussein)!

Considering how our country is regarded with utter disgust over the atrocities committed by our president & his military in Iraq, we will consider Europeans to be extremely forgiving if the worst that happens to American visitors is we get a chuckle.

you do realize I hope that the people who support our jingoist president
are not very likely to be the American tourists you meet in Italy?

I'd be careful here. Last June a man in our party was denied entrance
to St. Peter's and he was wearing shorts that hit below the knee.
He changed into jeans and he was allowed in. It depends on
who is working that day.
