A Autonomous Province of Trento, in northern Italy, has launched an initiative to combat the depopulation of mountainous areas. 10 million euros have been earmarked over two years to encourage the purchase and renovation of properties in 33 municipalities selected.
The project provides for non-refundable incentives of up to 80 thousand euros – R$ around 500 thousand – for those who decide to move and live in these villages for at least 10 years. The aim is to revitalize local communities and promote territorial cohesion.
How the incentive works
The funds cover 35% to 40% of the expenses for purchasing and renovating properties. The maximum amounts provided are:
- 20 thousand euros for the purchase of the property.
- 80 thousand euros for renovation, equivalent to 40% of the maximum allowable expenditure of 200 thousand euros.
To obtain the benefit, it is necessary to live in the property for at least 10 years or rent it to new residents for a moderate amount, according to the newspaper. Corriere della Sera.
