In Brief

In Arco, Trentino, residents protest campers occupying supermarket parking. The official 33-space lot in Trento is full, prompting plans for a larger one.

In the town of Arco in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy, local residents are complaining about motorhomes that regularly occupy parking spaces at supermarkets. A citizens' group is demanding that authorities install barriers and increase police control, citing overflowing rubbish bins and the problem spreading to other parts of the municipality.

The official camper parking area in Trento has only 33 spaces, which are fully occupied during the high season, forcing tourists to park elsewhere. Authorities plan to replace the existing lot with a larger, better-equipped one, which could improve the situation.

The Facebook post sparked a lively debate: some users share the criticism, while others see the situation more nuanced, noting that a correct and polite camper enhances the region.
