Original source: Sardiniapost.it

In Brief

A German couple's camper was shot at on Sardinia on June 18 in Villacidro. They were unharmed, but the vehicle was damaged. A local farmer was detained, but his involvement is unconfirmed.

On the morning of June 18, unknown attackers fired at a camper belonging to German tourists in the Villacidro area of Sardinia. The incident occurred in Villascemi park around 5 a.m. The couple was sleeping inside when shots rang out. One tourist said a bullet passed within centimeters of him. Bullets pierced the windshield, a seat, and hit the bedspread. The tourists were unharmed, but the camper sustained damage, including a shattered windshield and bullet holes.

Carabinieri detained a local farmer on suspicion of illegal weapons possession, but his involvement in the shooting is unconfirmed. The couple links the incident to wild camping, which is banned on the island. Later, a peaceful solidarity rally was held in Villacidro. Organizer Enrico S. said participants discussed discrimination and prejudice against camper owners and tourists, stressing that the attackers do not represent the local population.

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.
