The Italian government has been promoting construction subsidies to invest a minimum of USD 20,000 per house in some cities to promote the population of the city by providing sponsorship for stay. This is expected to boost house construction in the future, as construction in Italy is significantly cheaper than in many other parts of Europe, especially for vacation homes.
