A campaign is getting underway in Italy to take back large stretches of the country's beaches from private bathing clubs which usually charge to use them.This has been a summer of discontent because despite government efforts,an entire coastline has been monopolized by profiteering bathing clubs.Italy has some of Europe's finest beaches,but they are often buried under a mountain of deckchairs and umbrellas.The government says the state owns the shoreline and swimming should be free.
