The village is an infrastructure
Homes, squares, offices, greenery and services are not separate elements, but one system.
Municipality of Salvitelle · Preliminary concept
A villagecan beatthe city.
Offices, homes and shared services in one ecosystem. Lower cost per employee, higher quality of life.

Target sectors
- Artificial intelligence
- Software
- Cloud and data
- Cybersecurity
- Deep tech
- Robotics
- Agritech
- Food & beverage
- Wine
- Engineering
The problem
The cycle that empties villages
Polishing the image of a village is not enough. Breaking the cycle takes a new economic function.
- Fewer residents
- Fewer services
- Fewer companies
- Less work
- And round again
The solution
Three infrastructures, one system
The corporate hub is not the goal: it is the engine that brings work, people and skills into the territory.
01
Corporate Hub
Offices, coworking, meeting rooms, auditorium, restaurant and events.
02
Housing
Affordable apartments for workers and families, within walking distance of the campus.
03
Community Services
School, childcare, sport and everyday services, treated as productive infrastructure.
Settlement formats
It starts with five people
No relocation. A first Italian team, and then you grow.
Satellite Office
5–10employees
A light presence in Italy, to validate the territory without property commitments.
Reference format
Team Hub
10–30employees
A structured team: development hub, customer service or centre of competence.
Corporate Hub
30–100+employees
A complete operational site, with dedicated housing and campus-scale services.
Every format combines
Office
Office space, fibre, meeting rooms, utilities and reception.
Housing
Apartments for employees, utilities and optional services.
Corporate Services
Training, events, IT, catering and mobility.
Indicative sizes from the preliminary concept. Rents set by the financial model.
Circular economic model
The value stays here
Spending by companies and workers creates demand, demand creates services, services create work.
- 01Under-used buildings
- 02Renovation
- 03Offices and homes
- 04Companies
- 05Workers
- 06New local demand
- 07Services and retail
- 08New jobs
- 09Greater attractiveness
Masterplan
The campus is a square, not a block
The village is already a network of buildings, squares and paths to connect. Contemporary architecture lives alongside the stone.
The Main Plaza
Greenery, trees, water, shade, a bar and space for events. It has to work on an ordinary day too.
The Main Hub
It concentrates the shared functions. Offices stay spread across different buildings and flow in here: no single block, and the building stock recovers step by step.
- Auditorium
- Meeting rooms
- Coworking
- Reception
- Restaurant
- Bar
- Lounge
- Training
- Gym
Design criterion
Every intervention must produce economic, social and environmental value together.
Green & Smart Campus
It is not a roof with panels
Architecture, energy, mobility and behaviour designed as one infrastructure. Sustainability is an economic requirement.
The energy system
- 01Photovoltaics on compatible roofs
- 02Storage systems
- 03Heat pumps
- 04Intelligent load management
- 05Monitoring per building
- 06Provision for an energy community
Sizing comes from a study of real loads. Energy autonomy is proven with numbers, not promised.

Manifesto
The ten principles
The village is not a constraint to overcome: it is an infrastructure to redesign.
Work generates territory
Companies do not just fill offices: they produce jobs, skills and demand that stay here.
Quality of life is an advantage
Working well without giving up nature, free time, safety and human relationships.
The campus is the heart
A central hub gathers the shared services. Distributed buildings flow into it as into a square.
Residents and temporary teams
Companies can try the territory for weeks or months before settling.
The family is part of the project
School, sport and affordable homes are productive infrastructure: less load, more sustainable work.
Invisible technology
Access, bookings and services should work without friction. Technology simplifies; it does not complicate.
Local circular economy
The spending generated by companies and people must stay here and feed new business.
Green by design
Photovoltaics, storage, heat pumps and sustainable materials from day one.
Measure to replicate
The project must produce data. The goal is a model other small municipalities can replicate.
The trajectory
Four phases
Growth follows only once demand, occupancy and sustainability have been verified.
Phase 01
Pilot
The square, first offices and first apartments. Target: 3–5 buildings, 5–10 companies, 30–100 workers.
Phase 02
Campus
Auditorium, restaurant, coworking, family services and energy infrastructure.
Phase 03
Ecosystem
Resident startups, residency programmes and a partner network.
Phase 04
Model
Data, economic validation and replication in other municipalities.
Value proposition
Four points of view
Company
Lower operating costs, an Italian presence, employee housing and better retention.
Employee
Qualified work, an affordable home, free time and services within walking distance.
Salvitelle
New residents, employment, investment and recovery of the building stock.
Investor
Under-used buildings turned into productive infrastructure with recurring revenue.
Model structure
Four actors
Municipality of Salvitelle
Territory, public assets, permits and coordination.
Corporate Hub Operator
Economic management, property, contracts, services and scouting.
Property Owners
Owners and financiers of the buildings.
Corporate Tenants
The client companies of the ecosystem.
The promise
We are not rebuilding the past.
We are building a place where technology and history coexist, work sustains the community, and the territory generates opportunity again.
Is it really worth building a team in Salvitelle instead of a large city?
This is the question the full business plan will answer: real data, cost comparison, CAPEX/OPEX and break-even.
