Sammezzano, auction for sale deserted. Investors are sought for the purchase and recovery of the castle

The May 30 auction for the sale of Sammezzano Castle, one of Italy’s most famous historic-artistic sites, and a recent winner of the FAI’s Places of the Heart and included in the list of Europe’s twelve most at-risk monuments, drawn up by Europa Nostra, has been deserted. The entire area of the Castle therefore remains for sale, and in light of this, the Save Sammezzano movement, which was created to protect the monument, has decided to undertake a firsthand search for business entities interested in supporting, with resources and professionalism, the purchase of the Castle (whose area also includes the large park and 13 outbuildings).

“To investors who show serious interest in the operation,” they let the movement know, “Save Sammezzano will provide a draft project for the recovery of the entire area and a business plan. Both drafts have been produced by professionals in the field who have carefully analyzed the potential and identified the strengths of Sammezzano. The plans include bringing the entire area into income to ensure a return on investment over time. They also include revenues from cultural activities and public accessibility of parts of Sammezzano Castle so that its museum vocation is not distorted. The recovery project and its business plan will, of course, be modifiable according to the business ideas and needs of the investor consortium to be formed. All of Save Sammezzano’s professionalism, network of contacts (professional, political, academic and media) and communication channels will also be made available at all stages of the project’s development. Thanks to its notoriety and proximity to one of the largest luxury outlets in Italy, The Mall (which attracts nearly 4,000,000 visitors a year to the vicinity of Sammezzano), a business project for the recovery and revitalization of the Sammezzano complex would undoubtedly prove highly profitable.”

All interested parties can express their interest by emailing info@savesammezzano.com.
