EIRE Expo Italia
Real Estate, scheduled from 4th to 6th June and being held at
Fieramilanocity for the first time, is becoming increasingly
identified as an event open to international investors with an
interest in Italy. In this regard, "Italy International!" is a

project will be hosted in the Investors' Lounge area and will be
divided into two different branches: a cycle of three conferences
dedicated to the investment world, and a presentation of the best
projects developed by international investors in Italy.
In the next three
years will expire 16 real estate funds with a total value of about
4.5 billion euro. Of these, in the light of the extensions already
approved, about 1.2 billion should be sold by the end of this year.
This figure is incompatible with the negligible size of the current
market, also due to the concomitant liquidation of the financial
instruments reserved for qualified investors considered elusive.
However, it will hardly be possible to be g...
