In Marcellise (Verona), overheating of a photovoltaic system ignited the roof of two rural houses. The fire broke out on Saturday afternoon, causing damages exceeding 300,000 euros and rendering both buildings uninhabitable. The owner, a journalist, is temporarily living in his motorhome. No injuries were reported.
In Turin, on Via Negarville at number 31, a motorhome has been parked in a double row for months. District 2 councilor Alessandro Nucera has sent a new report to the city, requesting intervention by the local police. The vehicle reduces the roadway, forcing drivers into alternating one-way traffic, causing congestion and safety risks.
On June 6, a head-on collision between a motorcycle and a motorhome occurred on SP 58 in Piancandoli (Mugello). A 45-year-old motorcyclist from Imola was airlifted to Careggi hospital with multiple injuries. Carabinieri are investigating.
ServusTV hosts Bruggi and Alex stayed at a campsite among fans during the MotoGP in Mugello. They used a motorhome as temporary accommodation. A segment about their stay aired on ServusTV.
French traveler Michel Letraveler, who drove a motorhome through Italy in 2020, received a demand in May 2026 for €119.36 for an unpaid toll at the Genova Ouest station on September 18, 2020. Michel claims he paid €80.50 on site and is contesting the claim, providing bank statements. The case raises questions about the timeliness and validity of toll collection by Italian highway operators.
In the Italian province of Alto Adige, particularly in the municipality of Naturno, stricter rules for campers have been introduced. Fines for illegal camping and improper parking range from €300 to €1,800. A dedicated phone number has been set up to report violations.
