Italian municipalities are continuing to expand urban video surveillance networks to improve public safety and security. In Giugliano, a €600,000 investment is being implemented through two funding phases to install 56 new cameras. The first phase, costing €350,000, focuses on 31 cameras, primarily along the coastline at via del Mare in Licola and piazza Cristoforo Colombo. The second phase utilizes €250,000 for 25 additional cameras at major road junctions, the Ponte Riccio railway station, and the metro area. The system is intended for territorial monitoring and license plate reading rather than increasing administrative sanctions. In Cuneo, the municipal camera system is being extended to sensitive areas in the city center and outlying hamlets. Utilizing existing fiber optic infrastructure for centralized management, officials state the system serves as a crime deterrent and a tool for collecting anonymized data, such as vehicle traffic flows, in compliance with GDPR. In Terralba, the municipal government has approved a feasibility study to upgrade its surveillance system to combat vandalism and improve urban livability. The administration plans to request €120,000 from the Ministry of the Interior, supplemented by €10,000 in municipal funds, for a total investment of €130,000. Expansion efforts are also spreading to the provinces of Fermo, Oristano, and Matera, where local governments are applying for Ministry of the Interior funds to upgrade camera systems. In Alessandria, the administration is introducing advanced digital video analysis using artificial intelligence to improve real-time search capabilities.
