The verdict comes from the national rule: the local by-law of Vallerotonda has not been read yet, and in Italy the municipal council may make it stricter. That is why the border is dashed.
NOT ON RECORD
The local rule of Vallerotonda has not been read, and in Italy the municipal council may forbid what national law allows.
This does not mean it is forbidden: it means it has not been checked. Below is what is known, with its official document.

Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

- BY EXPRESS PROVISION OF LAW, sosta is NOT campeggio (art. 185 c. 2 CdS)
- CHOCKS constitute campeggio (art. 185 c. 2.a)
Codice della Strada art. 185 c. 2; 7 c. 13-bis · verified on 2026-08-08
«La sosta delle auto-caravan, dove consentita, sulla sede stradale non costituisce campeggio, attendamento e simili se l'autoveicolo non poggia sul suolo salvo che con le ruote, non emette deflussi propri, salvo quelli del propulsore meccanico, e non occupa comunque la sede stradale in misura eccedente l'ingombro proprio dell'autoveicolo medesimo.»
Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Italy
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
- the only European law that defines the line with verifiable PHYSICAL criteria, citable by article and comma
- LEVELLING THE VEHICLE in order to sleep comfortably is, literally, the factual element of the offence
- breaking «salvo che con le ruote» with levelling chocks already crosses the line
Codice della Strada art. 185 c. 2.a y c. 6 · verified on 2026-08-08
«È vietato lo scarico dei residui organici e delle acque chiare e luride su strade ed aree pubbliche al di fuori di appositi impianti di smaltimento igienico-sanitario.»
