See what needs doing and what each job costs
Judicial auction listing ('Data di asta', 'Offerta minima', 'Procedura') is an automatic veto for this catalog. It also needs heavy restoration with roof infiltration, damp, non-functioning systems and disconnected utilities, implying about €1,100/m² renovation on top of the €419/m² ask.
More on the house and the area
This is a basic village townhouse with no meaningful view or standout architectural charm. It is a real house rather than a shell, with floors, stairs, kitchen area and bathroom still present, but the abandoned condition, roof leaks and dead utilities make it a significant renovation project before comfortable living.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€30,000 – €44,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 52/100This is in the lower Val Tidone on the western edge of the Emilia-Romagna plain, with cultivated fields and wine hills rising a short distance to the south. The Tidone valley and the first ridges of the Piacentine Apennines are within the local landscape. Piacenza is the nearest city of size, with a full set of services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. The wider area is known for vineyards and wines including Gutturnio and Ortrugo, and for mixed arable farming in the plain.
