Baratti: Motorhomes parked for days, lots full — locals decry 'illegal camping'
Original source: MaremmaOggi

In the Gulf of Baratti (Tuscany), residents and day-trippers are complaining about motorhomes occupying free parking areas for days, reducing space for visitors. Andrea Camerini, administrator of the 'Amo Baratti' Facebook group, posted that the situation resembles 'illegal camping,' with motorhomes parked since Friday and owners using awnings, mats, and clotheslines. The gulf has 94 motorhome spaces, 889 car spaces, and 15 disabled spots; parking is paid from March 28 to October 4, 2026. Camerini also noted a motorhome parked in a disabled bay and criticized the lack of enforcement.

Pisogne camper area challenged over flood risk and safety concerns

Environmental groups Legambiente Basso Sebino and Valle Camonica, Italia Nostra Valle Camonica, and LIPU Bergamo and Brescia have formally challenged the municipality of Pisogne over the planned camper area in the Nistoi locality. They demand suspension of the authorization process and a full review, citing flood risk, safety concerns, road access issues, and soil quality. The groups call for independent verification of hydraulic hazards, including the potential for vehicles to be swept away by water, and an assessment of the evacuation plan, which relies on a road with a bottleneck and a one-way bridge. Concerns also include possible steel slag in the soil. As an alternative, they propose turning the area into a public park or reforested green zone.
