In Brief

Unknown gunman fired four shots at a campervan with a German couple on Sardinia. Bullets pierced glass and furniture; one lodged 20 cm from a tourist. A 55-year-old farmer was detained.

On Sardinia, an unknown person fired at a campervan in which a married couple from Elterlein (Ore Mountains) was sleeping. The incident occurred around 5 a.m. in a mountain valley near Villacidro. Bullets pierced the glass, seats, and furniture; one lodged in the sheet 20 cm from a tourist. Police found four shell casings at the scene — three with shot and one with a bullet.

According to sources, the incident took place on June 18, 2026, in a mountain valley near the Villascema reservoir. A bullet passed through the entire vehicle, narrowly missing the sleepers. The couple called for help using the phone's emergency function despite no signal. The day before, a police officer had allowed them to stay overnight.

A 55-year-old local farmer was detained on suspicion of illegal weapons possession, but his involvement in the shooting has not yet been confirmed. The victims left the island the same day; the vacation was interrupted, and the tourists returned to Germany.

Montecatini Terme considers targeted parking bans for camper vans

The municipality of Montecatini Terme is evaluating the introduction of targeted parking bans for camper vans in specific parking lots due to prolonged stays. Local police, carabinieri, and state police conduct regular checks, resulting in fines. However, eradicating the phenomenon is difficult: vehicles return to the same spots days after inspections. Simple parking without lowering stabilizer legs does not constitute illegal camping.
