In Liguria, Chiavari has extended umbrella and sunbed rentals at Marina Giulia through November 1, transitioning to a weekend-only model in October. In Riccione, beach establishments are remaining open past the official end of the bathing season to maintain operations.

In Sicily and Sardinia, similar measures are being taken. Catania is keeping several free beaches and solariums open through late October.
