Ostia to create motorhome parking area to address social emergency

The municipality of Ostia plans to set up a motorhome parking area on the Paolo Toscanelli seafront. The project includes electrical hookups and chemical toilets to accommodate about ten families currently living in motorhomes due to a lack of housing. Opponents argue the temporary solution could become a permanent ghetto, and its implementation requires an urban planning amendment that must be approved by Rome's city council.

Man arrested in Modena for attempted theft of bicycles from parked motorhome

State Police in Modena arrested a 31-year-old man, already known to authorities, for attempted aggravated theft. Around 11:00 PM on Viale Martiri della Libertà, officers responded to a 112 emergency call from a street tutor reporting someone tampering with a parked motorhome. The suspect dropped a pair of shears and fled toward via Mascherella but was caught on Corso Adriano. Two of four bicycles originally secured to the motorhome's bike rack were found on the ground nearby, a third was hidden in a flowerbed at Parco Pertini, and the chain had been cut; a window was also broken. The arrest was validated by the preliminary investigations judge, who imposed an obligation to report to judicial police.

Turin residents complain about constant presence of motorhomes and caravans in parks

Residents of Turin reported the prolonged presence of motorhomes, caravans, and vans on Corso Brunelleschi, near the Mercatò supermarket. They cite safety concerns: abandoned waste, use of public fountains for washing, and belongings left near a playground. District 3 councilor Stefano Bolognesi said structural solutions are needed, not just moving people. Authorities note the same families cyclically move between the San Paolo and Pozzo Strada neighborhoods.

Bagnasco: Motorhome area to become safer with cameras and new furnishings

The municipality of Bagnasco (Piedmont) has awarded a contract to install a video surveillance system and provide furnishings for the new equipped motorhome stopover in the Case Sparse Centasco area. The cost of the work is €4,239.50, which allowed the administration to bypass mandatory public procurement procedures. Total investment in the creation of the stopover reached €82,000, of which €57,000 came from the Piedmont region and €25,000 from the municipal budget.
