Italy wants to revive abandoned places. There are thousands of dilapidated houses and apartments for one euro, including for Austrians – so we reported. For resourceful entrepreneurs or adventurers, our neighboring country also offers abandoned lighthouses, masserie, osterie and buildings between Tuscany and Sicily for tourist use. We show you how it works and which pitfalls are lurking.
There are hundreds of lighthouses on the mainland and on the islands in exclusive locations, for which the Ministry of Defense is responsible. However, the minister makes no secret of the fact that the maintenance of the buildings costs enormous amounts of money and is no longer manageable. Accordingly, the earlier jewelry also looks partial.
state needs money
In 2015, the state launched the initiative ‘Valore Paesi Fari’ (Fari stands for lighthouses) and has since regularly publicly advertised the objects. Because the country must somehow make money from its treasures of stone and wood. The offer is not only aimed at Italians and allows rental periods between 30 and 75 years, depending on the location. In principle, the idea behind this should be a win-win situation: the state cannot sell its properties, but it can generate more income. The renter or renter can make the best of it.
