        <title>Italy’s spite houses: the neighbourly feuds behind their walls</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ Some people decide to build a house not to live in, but to cut off their neighbour's electricity. Or they move their home brick by brick, rather than give in to pressure from an administration. These aren't movie gimmicks, but true stories, in Italy and around the world. Spite houses—called spite houses in the Anglo-Saxon world—are constructions born from personal conflicts, inheritance disputes, neighbour quarrels, and disputes with institutions. From Sicily to Bergamo and Beirut, some have become tourist attractions; others have entered architectural history books.]]></description>

        <title>Camper tax: how much is it paid in Italy?</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ Like any vehicle registered in Italy, camper vans are also subject to a mandatory annual tax: the camper tax, technically known as the "vehicle tax." What few people know is that the amount to be paid is not the same for everyone: two owners of identical campers, with the same power output and the same year of registration, can pay very different amounts simply because they reside in different regions.]]></description>

        <title>Car tax in Italy: which models will be exempt from 2027</title>

        <description><![CDATA[ Legislative Decree 162/2026, approved by the Council of Ministers, suspends the car tax for 2027. The measure affects approximately 70% of the Italian car fleet and represents a direct saving for millions of families. However, not all cars are eligible, and the benefit does not apply to every vehicle registered to the same person. Here, then, are the cars that will be exempt from car tax starting in 2027.]]></description>

        <title>How much does it really cost to keep a home in Italy empty for three months?</title>
        <link>https://www.idealista.it/en/news/financial-advice-in-italy/2026/09/16/442006-how-much-does-it-really-cost-to-keep-a-home-in-italy-empty-for-three-months</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ Keeping a property vacant involves ongoing outgoings that weigh on every owner’s finances. The fixed and variable costs of an empty home range between €400 and €1,500 per quarter.  IMU has a significant impact because, unlike properties used as a main residence, it must be paid. TARI is also almost always payable in full, except in rare cases involving homes without furnishings or utility connections. Electricity, gas and water bills continue to include fixed network charges even when consumption is zero. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ A village on Lake Como has decided to help young people stay and live there through funding allocated via a public call to people who choose to establish their official residence in Bellano and build a life there. Called “Abitare Bellano”, the initiative is a trial measure set up by the local Comune — municipal council — for 2026. It has a total fund of €100,000 and addresses an issue shared by many small Italian towns. On Lake Como, it takes on a particular form: a picturesque area that is increasingly unaffordable for the people who would genuinely like to make their home there.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[ Abruzzo is one of the most underrated regions during the summer months.

        <description><![CDATA[ Sicily remains one of Italy’s favourite summer destinations, thanks to its sweeping beaches, hilltop villages and dramatic scenery, but also because of its climate.

        <description><![CDATA[ Buying a home in Italy is a common goal, but getting a mortgage can be challenging, particularly under strict lending criteria. So, can you get a mortgage in Italy with a foreign salary? Yes, but it’s often more complex than applying with Italian income. Banks typically require a permanent employment contract, a strong income profile and a lower loan-to-value ratio (LTV). In practice, this usually means a deposit of 20% to 40%.]]></description>
