New camper site in Montenero and empty lot in Montefiascone: contrasts of Italian vanlife
Original source: monteneronotizie.net

In Brief

The municipality of Montenero di Bisaccia has announced a tender for a new 18-space camper site, while in Montefiascone a paid lot emptied after introducing a €15 per night fee.

In Montenero di Bisaccia (Molise region), through the Basso Biferno union of municipalities, a tender has been announced for the management of a new camper site to be built on the site of the old Capolaserra stadium. The facility will have 18 spaces and will be equipped with toilets, waste disposal, water supply, a picnic area, bike parking, and a bowling green. Construction costs are €157,000, one-third funded by the municipality and the rest by the Ministry of Tourism. The concession is for 10 years with a minimum annual fee of €3,173.82; bids are accepted until July 31.

A contrasting situation has emerged in Montefiascone (Lazio), where a camper site created by former local winery director Mario Trape has been nearly empty in recent months. Previously it was constantly full, attracting tourists from all over Italy and boosting sales of local products, especially wine. After introducing a €15 per night fee and installing a barrier, visitor numbers dropped sharply, leading to lower parking and sales revenues and a decline in tourist flow to the town.

Spoleto loses funding for camper area redevelopment

The municipality of Spoleto has renounced a €108,000 grant from the Italian Ministry of Tourism for the expansion and redevelopment of the camper area on Via del Tiro a Segno/Ponzianina. The decision was forced by a veto from ANAS, which cited safety concerns due to the site's location under the Flaminia state road overpass. An alternative plan to use part of the Ponzianina parking lot was rejected as it would reduce space for tourist buses. Mayor Andrea Sisti has instructed technical offices to find a new location near the Spoleto Sfera mobility hub.

Common rules for motorhome and drone owners in Italy

Italian publication Dronezine notes that many motorhome owners also use drones to film their travels. Since December 2019, liability insurance for drones has been mandatory in Italy, even for models under 250 grams, except for toys without cameras. Pilots must register on the D-flight portal and comply with UAS zone restrictions (no-fly zones near airports, prisons, crowded places). Drone insurance from Dronezine starts at €24.90 per year.

Cortina d'Ampezzo tightens controls on camper van parking

The municipality of Cortina d'Ampezzo announced stricter measures against illegal camping after another incident of degradation caused by a van parked in the city. The council reports litter, sewage, and irregular parking, but also highlights the limitations of current regulations, which make it difficult to fine motorhomes when they are simply parked. In the coming days, checks will be intensified with the support of the provincial police, especially on the Dolomite passes.

18-month-old chokes on potato in camper in Posatora: saved via phone instructions

In Posatora (Ancona), an 18-month-old child choked on a piece of undercooked boiled potato during dinner in a camper van. The parents, tourists from Romagna, immediately called 118, and the operator provided step-by-step instructions for pediatric airway clearance maneuvers. Rescuers from the Croce Gialla of Ancona and an emergency doctor arrived; the child had already begun to recover. He was taken to the Salesi children's hospital in yellow code for further checks.
