Italian regional governments are implementing financial aid programs for ‘social freezing,’ the cryopreservation of oocytes for personal rather than medical reasons.

In Tuscany, the Regional Council approved a law providing up to 3,000 euros in support for women aged 25 to 39 with a family ISEE below 30,000 euros. The initiative, which has a total budget of 550,000 euros through 2028, faced political opposition from groups citing potential health risks, while supporters viewed it as a step for reproductive freedom. 

Similarly, Puglia has announced subsidies for the 2026-2027 biennium under Regional Law n. 42. Eligible applicants in the Puglia region, specifically within the BAT province, must be between 27 and 37 years old with an ISEE not exceeding 30,000 euros to receive a one-time subsidy of up to 3,000 euros. This measure is intended to address demographic decline and protect rights to parenthood.
