By restoring the rural building stock, the measure will improve the quality of the countryside’s landscape by returning to the community an underused building stock which is not accessible to the public.

The investment is financed by the Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 600 million.

The works began in December 2023. The project also aims to enhance the value of the site within the rural village through thematic routes (open-air museum) and guided tours. This project is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility with EUR 119.360,00.
