In Porto Azzurro (Elba Island), the coast guard, acting on a prosecutor's order, sealed off a roughly 10,000 sq m plot used as a storage facility for motorhomes and caravans after it was classified as an illegal dump. All 105 vehicles on site were impounded, including roadworthy caravans belonging to tourists who intended to retrieve them for summer holidays. The facility owner says only about 15 vehicles are abandoned and should be scrapped, while the rest are in regular use. Tourists whose caravans are blocked report major disruption, with many having planned to depart within days.
