Nuns in Spotorno oppose release of beach club

In the Italian coastal town of Spotorno, a conflict has arisen between a religious order and the local government. The nuns have managed a section of the beach since the 1970s, where they rent out beach beds and umbrellas. The income generated from this operation supports various charitable projects.

The mayor of Spotorno, Mattia Fiorini, has announced plans to open the beach to competition. This decision is deemed necessary to comply with local and European regulations aimed at ensuring fair competition on Italian beaches.

The nuns are strongly opposed to these plans, arguing that the revenue from their beach club is essential to their charitable initiatives. They have responded with a public call against the municipality's proposals.

According to the nuns, it is important for their work to continue, highlighting the long history of their activities on this stretch of beach. Their management is not only a source of income but also a means of supporting the community.

The local government has not yet responded to the nuns' objections. The situation remains a topic of discussion within the local community, where various interests are at stake.
