High need, thin services. For people who want to build something.
The far north option: an Apennine comune that has lost almost everyone, within reach of Genoa and Milan. Nothing like the southern schemes in scale, but the drive to a major airport is a fraction of Sicily's.
Before you fall in love
- No resident doctor. Nearest hospital is 45km.
- No primary school in the comune — school-age children commute.
- Broadband around 20Mbps. Verify before committing to remote work.
- Population down 10.5% in 6 years. The decline is ongoing, not historic.
What Carrega Ligure is short of
Drawn from comune statements, school and service data, and the shape of the local economy.
Business founders, urgency 5 of 5
Every service in the village needs somebody to restart it.
Farming & land, urgency 4 of 5
Chestnut and pasture land reverting to forest.

Eligibility
- Works on a registered Italian property; the 50% rate requires it to be your abitazione principale
- You need Italian tax liability to deduct against — non-residents with no Italian income cannot use it
What you commit to
- Payments by traceable bank transfer with the correct causale
- The deduction arrives as ten equal annual instalments, not a lump sum
- Technical certification required for energy-efficiency measures

Who can do the work
The trades register is new
No registered trades in Carrega Ligure yet.
We only list businesses that have signed up themselves, so an empty register is an unknown, not a no — it means nobody has joined yet, not that there is nobody to do the work.
