Camper area deserted for third year: 130,000 euros wasted

A camper area in Civitanova, opened three years ago, remains empty and neglected. The 130,000-euro investment failed due to its poor location, several kilometers from the beach and city center, near a highway and commercial zone. Tourists choose other sites closer to the sea. Additionally, the completion of a bike path and a bridge over the Chienti River is delayed.
