In Gassino Torinese, Italy, the former Olindo Fiore sports field in Bussolino has been converted into a free parking area for five motorhomes. The project cost €82,000 (€50,000 from regional funds and €32,000 from the municipal budget), drawing criticism from the opposition. Maurizio Gazzara, leader of the Gassino Insieme list, argued the funds should have been used for road and sidewalk repairs instead. He also cited a 1985 notarial deed stating the land was designated for social and cultural facilities, not parking. The parking regulations were approved by a majority vote, but the debate continues.
