Concerns have emerged regarding the implementation and efficacy of Italy’s Superbonus tax incentive program. In Sestriere, residents have raised questions about the potential waste of public funds, noting that extensive renovations were performed on numerous apartment buildings that remain largely deserted seasonal residences. 

In Ascoli, the program has led to direct hardship for approximately 120 families in the Porta Cappuccina district. Construction projects intended to renovate six buildings have been abandoned by contractors, leaving residents with unfinished structural work and permanent scaffolding. Local authorities have characterized the situation as a “disgrace and a public health concern,” though the municipality faces legal limitations in intervening due to the private nature of the properties and companies involved.
