This is a judicial auction listing (ASTA), which carries legal and procedural risk. Price €56,250 plus estimated renovation €20,800 (€200/m²) yields an effective €77,050 (~€741/m²) versus the regional median €306/m², so I flag it as an auction (trap).
More on the house and the area
Pleasant countryside villa with an attractive covered portico/arched exterior, private garden and gated driveway — a photogenic, characterful setting that feels livable. The building appears structurally complete but interiors are messy and partly unfinished, so expect moderate renovation (especially sanitary/kitchen fit-out) before full occupation. At the listed auction price this is a good bargain for someone ready to tidy and renovate.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
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.
- Interior is cluttered/unfinished in photos and likely needs cleaning and renovation (bathroom(s) appear missing).
- Grounds are overgrown — clearing and landscaping required.
- Sale by auction — get a lawyer to check title, servitudes and any liens before bidding.
- Possible missing or disconnected utilities and incomplete finishes — confirm with the auction documentation/inspections.
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.

Asti is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, rail links and services. The wider area is known for wine, especially Barbera and other Monferrato appellations.
