Man dies from electric shock while freeing dog from cable in Rimini campsite

A 60-year-old man from Foggia died from an electric shock in a campsite in Rimini while trying to free his dog from an electrical cable. Wet ground from an inflatable pool may have contributed to the current leak. An investigation has been opened.

Ostia: caravans and rubbish occupy parking spaces on Via di Acqua Rossa. Complaint by Fratelli d'Italia

Fratelli d'Italia has filed a complaint about the illegal occupation of public parking on Via di Acqua Rossa in Ostia. Two caravans, parked cars and rubbish create unsanitary conditions and a safety risk due to gas cylinders near a power station and a school. Residents link the camp to recent evictions from Castel Fusano. An inspection and social assistance are requested.

Schio: Six-month ban on motorhome and caravan parking

The municipality of Schio has issued a six-month ordinance prohibiting the parking of caravans, motorhomes and equipped vehicles for overnight stays or temporary settlement outside authorised areas. The measure follows numerous complaints from residents and businesses about improper occupation of public parking, littering and hygiene issues. Violators face immediate removal and, in case of repeat offences, seizure of the vehicle.

Taranto: the motorhome that can't find a home

Taranto, set to host the 20th Mediterranean Games in August 2026, still lacks a dedicated motorhome parking area. A site on Via Mascherpa, opened in 2000 with EU funding, changed hands several times and then lay abandoned for 18 years, only to be turned into a beer festival venue in August 2025. Local activists and the national touring federation criticise the city for failing to provide basic infrastructure for campervan travellers despite years of promises.
