The €95,000 asking price is only €176/m², but a complete restoration at roughly €1,100/m² raises the estimated all-in cost to about €1,275/m², far above the local €172/m² benchmark. Its central position and terrace add appeal, but the property-size discrepancy (539 m² versus approximately 593 m² in the description) warrants verification.
More on the house and the area
A striking Liberty-style palazzo with ornate brick detailing, historic character, and an exceptional central position beside the church; the rooftop terrace adds views over the town and surrounding countryside. However, the interior is a raw, neglected renovation project rather than a livable home, so its impressive 539 sqm and very low price are mainly attractive to investors or ambitious renovators.
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€214,000 – €316,000
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.
- Completely to renovate, with visibly deteriorated interiors and no demonstrated bathrooms, kitchen, or usable living spaces.
- The rooftop terrace and roof areas appear aged and will require careful structural and waterproofing checks.
- Central location beside a church and road means limited privacy and possible traffic or bell noise.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
