Summary
| Description |
{{|The image provides an overview of of the distribution of free and private beaches in the Italian regions during the year 2021. According to the Legambiente Report Spiagge 2022, in May 2021 only half of the Italian beaches were freely accessible and usable for bathing. In fact, almost 43% of the Italian sandy coastline was occupied by bathing establishments, while 7.2% was polluted or not monitored. As visible from the image, the situation varies from region to region. The image also highlights the minimum percentage of free beaches each region should have by regional regulations. While some regions, such as Puglia and Sardinia, are allocate 60 per cent of beaches for free use. On the other hand, in Liguria there are far fewer free beaches than its own regulation would allow. In others, such as Tuscany, Basilicata, Sicily, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto, there is even no regulation for minimum percentage of free beaches. The European Union has been asking Italy for years to not renew concessions for bathing establishments to the usual managers and to have more free beaches [1] but the situation keeps getting worst. Considering also the problem of eroding coastline, if nothing will change, Italy will have fewer and fewer free beaches.

Own work As there is not a single database containing all these information, a spreadsheet has been created by the author collecting data about percentages of private, free and minimum free beaches regulations by region from: Report Spiagge 2022, Legambiente. https://www.legambiente.it/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Rapporto-Spiagge-2022.pdf Only the data regarding the total area of beaches for region in 2021 were collected from: Italian coasts new data on the state and geomorphologic changes, Istituto superiore per la protezione e la ricerca ambientale (ISPRA). https://www.isprambiente.gov.it/files2021/eventi/statistiche/webinar_pon_governance_barbano_08_07_2021.pdf.
