Vicenza ends season passes for motorhomes at Cricoli and Park Stadio

Motorhome driver Michel Letraveler received a letter from Italian debt collection agency Nivi S.P.A. demanding 119.36 euros for an allegedly unpaid toll from September 2020.

Under Italian law, the statute of limitations for such debts is 10 years, and EU Directive 2019/520 has facilitated cross-border data exchange, leading to an increase in such claims years after travel.

Center-right groups in Alghero have submitted a unified agenda on managing itinerant tourism. They call on the Cacciotto administration to implement concrete measures within 30 days: TARI cuts for year-round facilities, temporary service areas with waste disposal, enhanced surveillance, and a camper passport system for waste verification. The move follows a communication incident that damaged the city's image as welcoming to motorhome tourists.

In the Ponterotto district of San Benedetto del Tronto, two evictions of motorhomes and caravans from the parking lot on Via Madonna della Pietà occurred within ten days.
