Imola Camper Parade

The motorhome area on Viale Luporini in Lucca is described as shabby and lacking notable services. In summer, the absence of trees and shade discourages parking, and the adjacent car park is frightening at night. The city should provide a proper motorhome stopover rather than an old dirty booth passed off as reception. The motorhome movement is said to be economically significant.

Police in Porto Cervo arrested Alessandro Diaz, a former Dinamo Sassari basketball player, after a check on provincial road SP13 between Palau and Cannigione. A search of his camper uncovered 43 doses of cocaine weighing about 1.5–1.6 grams each, 6,200 euros in cash, and materials for cutting and packaging drugs. Diaz, who lived in the camper at a campsite in Arzachena, was taken to Nuchis prison; the investigation began on 8 October following a report of suspected drug dealing in Palau.

The third edition of the Camper Day Tramontana rally will take place on Sunday, 11 October, at the Sa Corona Arrùbia Museum in Lunamatrona, dedicated to Davide Serra, known as Tramontana, who died prematurely at 56 in June 2023. The event is open to camper enthusiasts and others; around thirty vehicles have registered, and organisers announced a sell-out on Wednesday, with registrations closed on Tuesday. Serra had suggested to the Villanovaforru municipal administration the area on via delle Grotte for a camper area; funded by regional law 16/2017, it opened on 15 June 2024 and can host up to ten campers, offering free Wi-Fi, loading and unloading services, electricity and toilets. The programme includes a gathering at the museum at 10:00, a parade at 11:00, an aperitif at Sa Corona Arrùbia park at 12:00, lunch at 13:00 and a museum visit at 15:00.

From 30 October to 1 November, the town of Amandola in Italy's Marche region will host Diamanti a Tavola, a festival celebrating the white truffle of the Sibillini Mountains. Camper Club Sibillini is organising a motorhome area on Via Ugo La Malfa. The participation fee is 40 euro per motorhome, including electricity, camper service, showers and toilets; an adjacent parking area without electricity costs 25 euro from Friday, 15 euro from Saturday and 10 euro on Sunday only. The programme includes a truffle-hunting demonstration with dogs, a beekeeping lesson with honey tasting, a tour of the historic centre and entertainment.

Two bids have been submitted in Torregrande for the management of the Grandi Eventi area and the adjacent motorhome parking. The envelopes were opened on 25 September; a commission chaired by Maria Rimedia Chergia is evaluating the technical proposals. The concession lasts 20 years, extendable to 30, with a base annual fee of 35,000 euros, reduced to 3,500 euros (10%) for the first three years. The bidders are a group led by Quamvis (event organisation) with Asd, Cooperativa Sea Scout and Ainnanti di Siris, and the social cooperative Sulcis Sardegna of Buggerru, which already manages the motorhome parking in Buggerru.

Giottiline has unveiled the Siena 340, a profile motorhome on a Stellantis chassis measuring 5.99 m long and 2.32 m wide. Its rear features a U-shaped lounge with a central table, a layout typical of the British market. The model offers four berths and four travel seats, swivel cab seats, a washroom with a Vario pivoting shower wall, and a kitchen with a gas locker for two large bottles. Pricing starts at €63,800. Giottiline sold nearly 500 units in France last year.
