- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (Tribunale), which adds legal and procedural risks/costs. At €44,929 plus estimated renovation (€700/m² × 308 m² ≈ €215,600) the effective price is ~€846/m², well above the region’s typical €459/m².
More on the house and the area
Photos show bright, modernized interiors (new bathrooms, open-plan kitchen and good floors) and a photogenic historic street façade, so parts of this large townhouse feel move-in ready. However the property is an auction lot described as needing renovation, so expect further refurbishment and legal checks on the unshown areas.
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€61,000 – €108,000
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 61/100The area is in the northern Apennines, in the hill country south of Parma. The Enza valley is nearby, and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine ridge is within the local inland horizon. Schia, the small ski area on Monte Caio, is the nearest lift area at roughly half an hour by road from much of the comune. Parma is the nearest city of size, with rail links, services, and a large historic centre. This part of the Parmense is known for mixed woodland, pasture, scattered stone hamlets, and for Parmigiano Reggiano production in the mountain and hill zone.
