In July 2026 Italian courts issued a decision clearing mobile‑phone antenna installations for operators Iliad and Vodafone, signalling a judicial endorsement of network expansion.

By early August, the Regional Administrative Courts in Campania and Lazio upheld bans on proposed antennas in Positano and Rocca di Papa. The rulings emphasized the visual and environmental impact on the Amalfi Coast and the need to respect strict landscape‑protection regulations, highlighting the tension between expanding mobile coverage and preserving heritage sites.

Together, the cases illustrate a mixed legal landscape in Italy, where some projects receive clearance while others are blocked due to local planning and environmental constraints.
