Italian regional environmental and safety measures

Overview

Regional authorities in Italy have implemented new legislative and financial measures to address hydrogeological instability and environmental safety.

In Basilicata, the Regional Council approved bill n. 135/2026 to modify existing laws regarding the cultivation of quarries and peatlands. The new regulations aim to streamline the extraction of fluvial material and the maintenance of riverbeds. This legislation allows for interventions based on reports from municipalities or industry players and permits granting concessions to companies for ordinary riverbed maintenance, provided they meet technical and environmental standards.

Simultaneously, funding has been allocated to combat coastal erosion. In Basilicata, an 11 million euro tender was published for the Metapontino area to restore shoreline defense systems. In Puglia, regional leadership discussed the allocation of 26.4 million euros to secure the upper coast, aiming to protect infrastructure, residents, and natural habitats from climate change and intense natural phenomena.
