This is a judicial auction (asta) with an opening bid €60,225, so it must be purchased via auction; estimated renovation ≈€700/m² gives an effective price ≈€331,120 (≈€856/m²), well above the regional baseline of €312/m². The listing data also contradicts itself on bathrooms (facts show 0 but the description mentions a bathroom), which is an additional red flag.
More on the house and the area
Large, old rural farmhouse with original character (fireplace, archways, high ceilings) and useful outbuildings on open agricultural land. The house is a usable standing home but clearly needs system upgrades and renovation — a real bargain if you’re prepared for work.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€77,000 – €136,000
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.
The area around
Location score 35/100The area is the flat southern Veronese plain between the Adige and the lower Vicenza-Padua countryside, with fields, irrigation canals and small market towns. The nearest larger towns are Lonigo, San Bonifacio and Legnago for daily services, while Verona and Vicenza are farther off for a wider range of shops and transport. This part of Veneto is known more for agriculture and for small-town food traditions than for a named landscape feature.
