Polignano: Prosecutor investigates conversion of caravans into villas at two campsites

The Bari Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into the Capri Club and Ripagnola campsites in Polignano a Mare. It was found that on these sites, caravans were converted into permanent structures with private sea access, violating landscape restrictions. Previously, in September 2025, the court seized the Club Adriatico campsite (175,000 sq m), where 414 caravan pitches had been turned into buildings ineligible for amnesty. The judge also rejected a request to use these facilities during summer 2026.

Court overturns Wolkenstein camper ban

An administrative court has overturned a Wolkenstein municipality ordinance that prohibited parking campers between 8 PM and 6 AM.

Rome allows motorhomes to park on blue zones

The Lazio Regional Administrative Court overturned a 1999 ban on free parking for residents' motorhomes. The March 25, 2026 ruling permits issuing parking permits for blue zones to motorhomes under 3.5 tons, deeming the previous ban discriminatory. This allows thousands of Rome residents to park their motorhomes near home on equal terms with passenger cars.

Motorhomes can park for free in paid zones: court overturns Rome municipality's decision

The Lazio Regional Administrative Court ruled in favor of a Rome resident who had his free parking permit for a motorhome revoked. The court determined that excluding motorhomes under 3.5 tons from resident parking permits is discriminatory, as they are subject to the same traffic regulations as other vehicles. The ruling partially annuls a 1999 municipal directive.
