Are you ready to own your “surreal estate” in Italy and start a business?
In the past it was lighthouses. Now Italy’s State Property Agency (Agenzia del Demanio) along with the Ministry of Cultural Heritage are giving away 103 abandoned historic sites all over the country. This means masserias, small railway stations, castles, monasteries, roadman’s houses and towers located along pilgrimage routes or cycling paths. Why? To promote and support “slow tourism”.
A call for bids will be published this summer and these buildings will be entrusted with free concession (9 + 9 years) to companies, cooperatives and associations predominantly made up of people under the age of 40. But people who develop a project of concrete restoration which will bring visitors to the area could be given a 50 year lease. They can be transformed into tourist facilities, such as hostels, hotels, food courts, etc. The deadline for applications is June 26.
This will bring new life and tourism to locations that are off the beaten path, considering Italy is more than just Rome, Venice or Florence, but it also boasts many undiscovered destinations worth visiting.
