I just got a ticket from city of LECCE in Puglia--- 1-1/2 years after my trip in 2024. It says it was a video/says we drove through an area where you needed a permit to drive through. (or park ?). But it cannot be. We parked in public lot where the staff of city showed us how to pay & manage parking process. We know we never parked in restricted area. Seems crazy. It says its now (with time penalty) a whole $200 Euros but that its been reduced for us to $107 including admin. fee. I have no intention of paying, and no intention of renting again in Italy . I will never return to Lecce. Am I safe to just ignore it?
On same trip, we got a different parking ticket in a different village in Puglia. We paid the parking ticket the same day we got it (30 euros). Six or 8 months later we got a bill from car rental company saying we owed them $60 Euros just because they had to read the letter they received from that village with this information. (their admin. fee). (the ticket had been paid already...I paid the $60). Original ticket was only $30 euros so ..... felt unfair . Now almost 2 years later---- I get this new ticket from Lecce.
