Italian municipalities expanding video surveillance

Overview

Italian municipalities continue to expand urban video surveillance networks to improve public safety. Recent efforts include Capannoli approving an €80,000 project for ten new cameras, while Jesi is planning a modernized system with centralized servers and potential license plate recognition. In Cetraro, the ‘Cetraro città sicura’ plan involves a €214,000 investment in advanced cameras and ANPR technology. Cesenatico has also requested funds for a €156,382 surveillance system to deter crime in its historic center and parking lots.

Giugliano is implementing a €600,000 network consisting of 56 new cameras to strengthen territorial control, particularly along its coastline and near railway stations. In Cuneo, the system is being extended to outlying hamlets using existing fiber optic infrastructure to collect anonymized traffic data. Terralba is pursuing a €130,000 upgrade to combat vandalism.

Broader security measures are also emerging. In Forlì and Sansepolcro, committees have approved surveillance projects, while six municipalities in Oristano signed security pacts. Beyond technology, local authorities are increasing physical presence: Genoa has extended 24-hour patrols to historic districts, Sassari launched nighttime patrols, and the Lombardy Region approved a collaborative project for Lecco, Valmadrera, Malgrate, and Civate to deploy joint police patrols and canine units to prevent urban decay.
