The call supports the redevelopment and enhancement of publicly owned buildings that are used, or could be used, for tourism. Eligible applicants are Lombardy municipalities and the region’s chambers of commerce, industry, crafts and agriculture. They must own the building or hold a legal title that guarantees its availability during the works and for at least ten years after the final payment. Support takes the form of non-repayable grants, and applications are assessed in order of submission through the regional Bandi e Servizi portal. The call is part of the regional programme financed by the Italian Ministry of Tourism’s National Single Fund for Tourism (capital account 2026-2028).

Funded interventions must structurally strengthen the local tourism offer, including through better accessibility, usability and reduced seasonality. Turning underused public assets into tourism facilities helps local authorities create year-round attractions and spread visitor flows across their territories. Applications open on 10 December 2026 at 12:00 and close on 10 February 2027 at 12:00. The original call is available only in Italian.
