The climate we are currently experiencing is not only difficult, but also unique to recent Italian and European history. The current situation tells the story of an economic model based on finance, which for too long has considered individual profit as its only objective. Unfortunately the face and identity of those responsible for exhausting this system are unclear, whilst the impoverishment and loss of economic and cultural assets, are tangible.
Italy, as with many other European countries, has found itself at the centre of this earthquake, and Real Estate is undoubtedly amongst the sectors most severely affected. The noted difficulties of the banking system, the stagnation of company balance sheets, the impoverishment of the population, the erosion of the middle class and the thick cloud of negativity, are all elements preventing us from living the present climate with a positive attitude and from facing the future with calmness and serenity.
It is at this very time however, that every manager must be able to clearly see the value of that which they possess inside their company and that which they can express. Rather than being overwhelmed, a positive attitude geared towards recovery and revival will be necessary. It is for this reason that our meeting at the next edition of EIRE (from 5th to 7th June at Fieramilano) will represent the possibility to present each of our opportunities, whether public or private, to international investors. With the banking system currently blocked, the participation of foreign funds in collaboration with Italian partners, will be a deciding factor in the development of our initiatives. With confirmation by at least 50 investors and other recruits by leading Real Estate companies with whom we have implemented co-marketing activities, the theme of attraction for international investment in Italy will be introduced.
For this reason, we are currently preparing THE BES...

Nomisma released some figures about Italian rates and sentiment indices up to March 2012 to outline the economic and financial trend of the country.
To describe the Italian economy and the country system, in relation to foreign investments, has never been more difficult. Negative factors in the overall economy have highlighted a series of areas which, over time, have become critical and the numerous attempts to put the situation right have failed to achieve the desired results. The overview is therefore quite serious, although Italy was improving its competitiveness just before the credit crunch hit the world economy an...
