In Schio (Vicenza province), 8 to 10 motorhomes have been permanently stationed at Piazzale Pubblici e Spettacoli and the via Istria parking lot, prompting resident complaints about litter and misuse of green areas. Fratelli d’Italia councilors Alex Cioni and Gianmario Munari filed three inquiries to the mayor, noting that social services were unaware of seven minors in these families, and the school service had not verified their attendance. Cioni and Munari demand enforcement of Article 41 of the local police regulations banning camping in public spaces, and coordination between police and social services.
