The Agenzia del Demanio has launched a tender for 20 state-owned properties across Italy, including lighthouses, former barracks, monasteries, and prisons, to attract private investment for recovery, reuse, and valorization. The properties are located in Calabria, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Marche, Puglia, Lazio, Sicily, Tuscany, and Umbria. The tender offers three concession types: valorization concession (12 properties), temporary use concession (6 properties, 6 months to 6 years), and subsidized concession for Third Sector entities (2 properties, up to 50 years). Notable properties include the former monastery of San Francesco in Stilo (Reggio Calabria), Palazzo della Posta in Piacenza, the lighthouse of Punta Cavazzi on Ustica island, the lighthouse of Gelso on Vulcano, the former judicial prison of Reggio Calabria, and Casa Nappi in Loreto (Ancona). The latter two are part of the Turismo Accessibile 4all project aimed at inclusive, accessible hospitality. Temporary use properties include commercial spaces in Rome, a portion of the former military hospital in Bari, and the former Rosati barracks in Cividale del Friuli. Subsidized concessions are for the former anti-aircraft shelter of Camollia in Siena and the former house of Mengara near Gubbio, Umbria. Bids for valorization concessions are due by December 11, 2026; for temporary use, by October 20, 2026.
