Italy's Council of State rejected an appeal by the National Association for the Coordination of Caravanners and upheld an experimental ordinance by the municipality of Vicenza, effective December 2, 2025. The measure bans 24-hour parking of campers and caravans on three streets in the Villaggio del Sole district for six months. The court ruled that the ban is not absolute, as alternative parking is available on equipped sites. Mayor Giacomo Possamai stated the decision confirms the legality of actions aimed at protecting urban decorum.
In South Tyrol, the administrative court of Bolzano on April 7, 2026, annulled a night parking ban for campers in Selva di Val Gardena, ruling it unlawful because the municipal council lacked authority. The court ordered the municipality to reimburse legal costs exceeding 4,000 euros to the camper owners' association. Following this, the consortium of municipalities in Bolzano province is drafting new guidelines that will introduce specific rules for campers instead of a blanket ban. The Camper Club Alto Adige advocates expanding the network of official parking areas rather than imposing restrictions.
