Burkini-wearer at Verona swimming pool 'frightens children'

Italy on Tuesday got its first close-up look at a burkini – an outfit consisting of head scarf, tunic and trousers – when a woman showed up at a Verona swimming pool wearing the outfit. Christian Panzarini, the manager of the Verona pool, said he had not asked the woman to leave despite several complaints from mothers who said she had frightened their tots.
