Italian regional infrastructure and social policy updates

Overview

Italy continues to implement various regional infrastructure, healthcare, and social policy developments.

In Calabria, the executive project for phase 1 of the Nuovo Ospedale della Piana has been approved. This 339-bed facility is intended to serve the Piana di Gioia Tauro region, a milestone highlighted by local officials as vital for expanding healthcare access in the Palmi area. Additionally, the Regional Council has unanimously approved laws to promote ‘smile therapy’ to humanize care in healthcare and socio-assistive facilities, as well as measures to certify the skills of emergency responders.

Regional environmental and economic strategies remain a priority. Abruzzo has allocated 47 million euros toward four major interventions to mitigate hydrogeological risks and prevent flooding in several river basins, including the Aterno river. While PNRR funds are increasing nursery school capacity in Abruzzo, labor representatives have called for stable resources for daily operations. In Puglia, energy transition projects, such as the Hydrogen Valley and Eni Storage Systems’ Gigafactory, are being positioned as drivers for industrial development.

Further initiatives include Sicily’s approval of a bill focused on active aging and domiciliary care to support the elderly through telemedicine and dementia assistance. In Campania, the Regional Council approved the 2027-2029 Regional Economy and Finance Document, which outlines strategies to combat depopulation in internal areas like Irpinia through enhanced digital connectivity and mobility. Other regional updates include the approval of the 2025 budget in Marche, which faces debates over healthcare service cuts, a measure in Veneto to protect the right to use cash for payments, and the approval of a regional cultural fund for the Bologna Municipal Theater in Emilia-Romagna.
