See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €79,000 (€718/m²) plus substantial renovation estimated around €121,000, the effective cost is roughly €1,818/m²—far above the €524/m² local comparison level. The historic-center setting and 110 m² rooftop add value, but the description emphasizes restaurant, entertainment, or hospitality use rather than a clearly livable home.
More on the house and the area
A charming historic home in Mesagne’s old center, with attractive whitewashed façades, a characterful paved courtyard, star-vaulted ceilings and a fireplace. However, the interiors are clearly in renovation condition with damp, damaged plaster and bare or deteriorated rooms, so this is a substantial restoration project rather than a move-in-ready home.
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€44,000 – €64,000
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.

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.
