During a meeting of the First Council Committee in Catanzaro, councilor Assisi reported that motorhomes, caravans, and vans used as dwellings have been illegally occupying parking spaces on the Giovino seafront for weeks. The situation has raised concerns about public space management, hygiene, and urban decorum, including the use of a public fountain and discharge of detergents onto the road.

Alghero discusses regulation of motorhome parking

Three joint city council committees in Alghero addressed the issue of motorhome parking. The key point is the legal distinction between 'parking' and 'camping': under the Italian Highway Code, a motorhome resting only on its wheels without deployed stabilizers or external equipment is considered parked. Participants emphasized the need for equipped service areas to prevent illegal camping and attract off-season tourists.

Burnt camper van abandoned for a year at Florence station car park

A completely burnt camper van has been left abandoned in the car park opposite Rifredi station in Florence since summer 2025. The car park, managed by FS Park, a company of the Ferrovie dello Stato group, offers about 70 spaces at €1 per hour or €8 per day.

Campervans on the Karst: Parking is allowed, the problem is enforcing the rules

A reader of Trieste.news responded to an article about the growing number of campervans on the Karst, stating that parking a campervan is legal if conditions of Article 185 of the Highway Code are met. He emphasized that overnighting inside the vehicle is not camping if rules are not violated, and called for enforcement of violations rather than new bans.
