Investment opportunities include the following: several former barracks in Trieste and Tarvisio (UD) in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in Veneto in Venice – near the Rialto Bridge – a former convent with courtyards and frescoed rooms, palaces, and ex-barracks in the downtown area of Novara in Piedmont; a villa overlooking the sea in Liguria and in Lombardy industrial areas, apartments and a loft on the Navigli in Milan. Investment opportunities in Emilia Romagna include historic buildings in Piacenza and Bologna and in Tuscany, a splendid ancient villa in the countryside of Florence and commercial premises in Piazza del Campo in Siena. There are evocative opportunities such as the cantoniere houses proposed in Umbria, a building complex in the historic center of Ascoli Piceno in the Marche region and the former convent in the downtown area of Sulmona in Abruzzo. The calls for tenders also include an abandoned industrial complex in Molise; in Lazio a beautiful apartment in the downtown area of Rome and Campania, in Caserta, a former barracks surrounded by greenery. A lighthouse on the Ionian coast of Calabria and building sites in Sicily are also for sale. The announcements published differ in terms of expiry of the offer: a shorter deadline, on 15 October, relating to 50 assets and a longer term, set instead on 15 November, for 37 assets that are more demanding from a design standpoint, in order to guarantee interested parties a reasonable time to carry out any due diligences and define real estate development projects. The third call for tenders, also with a deadline of 15 November, concerns 6 properties for which it is possible to submit both a single offer for several lots and offers for individual lots.
