150 m² listed at €99,000 but is “al rustico” and needs full finishing; estimated €700/m² (~€105,000) brings the effective price to ≈€1,360/m², well above the Lombardy median of €407/m². The garden and double garage and 17 photos are positives but do not offset the very high total renovation cost.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roofed townhouse in a central corte with a private garden and double garage — good bones and a bit of historic stonework. However the interior is a raw shell (no windows/finishes), so it’s a project that needs full renovation before it becomes a livable dream home.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.

- Located in a town corte so no scenic views; success depends on investment and permits
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 41/100This is the central Bergamo plain, with flat agricultural land crossed by irrigation channels and minor roads between the Serio and Oglio river systems. The Oglio is the nearest named river of note, and the Serio valley begins farther north toward Bergamo. Bergamo is the nearest city of size, with a substantial historic upper town, services and rail connections. The area is known for arable farming and the dense pattern of small plain towns typical of the Bassa Bergamasca.
