Parliamentary Commission investigates depopulation in Terni and Siena

The Parliamentary Commission for Regional Issues is conducting a two-day mission across Umbria and Tuscany to address the challenges facing internal and mountain areas. The mission focuses on combating depopulation, improving access to essential services, and enhancing infrastructure and territorial protection.

In Terni, the Commission met with local institutions and representatives from the Valnerina, South West Orvietano, and Media Valle del Tevere areas. Discussions highlighted critical issues such as the difficulty of accessing medical services, distance from hospitals, and the need for better connectivity and security to make these territories attractive to businesses.

The mission continues in Siena, where the Commission will consult with the Tuscany Region, the Municipality of Siena, and various unions of municipalities. The goal is to gather direct feedback from local administrators and communities to inform parliamentary work on regional cohesion and the strategic revitalization of Italy’s most fragile territories.
