Il vero effetto delle case a 1 euro, introduced by ITS Journal on 23 September, examines the distance between media success and changes in local communities. The NOMAG and ITS ITALY research proposes distinguishing purchases, refurbishment, use of homes and actual residence.

These questions are relevant to Tuscan programmes too, but the presentation consulted does not provide a specific assessment for each municipality in the region. National conclusions should therefore not automatically be applied to an individual scheme. The source also states that ITS ITALY operates in places involved in such programmes: the promoters’ economic involvement is relevant context when reading the research.
