Sestriere resident reports potential waste of Superbonus funds

A reader has provided testimony regarding the impact of the Superbonus tax incentive program in Sestriere, a mountain resort in the province of Turin. The observer noted that at least twenty apartment buildings underwent total external renovations following the 2020 decree.

The testimony highlights that many of these renovated buildings appear to be nearly deserted, as they primarily consist of second homes occupied only a few days a year. The observer expressed concern over the potential waste of public funds, noting that the energy savings in such seasonal residences may be insignificant compared to the costs. This local observation aligns with broader concerns regarding the estimated 174 billion euro cost of the program according to Ministry of Economy and Finance estimates.
