Manifesto
The rebirth of a territory through work, community and innovation.
The vision
Nobody returns to a village out of nostalgia
They return because it works. Salvitelle has to prove that a village can be contemporary, competitive and desirable: a place to live, work, raise a family and build companies.
A small municipality can be a global node, if it offers great quality of life, modern infrastructure and a competitive economic ecosystem.
Manifesto
The ten principles
The village is not a constraint to overcome: it is an infrastructure to redesign.
The village is an infrastructure
Homes, squares, offices, greenery and services are not separate elements, but one system.
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 Campus
A square, not an office complex
The campus is where the ecosystem meets. The square creates spontaneous encounter; the distributed offices flow into it. Stone, historic buildings and landscape are not scenery — they are identity.
The economic model
Who gains, and how
The startup
Lower operating costs, shared infrastructure, affordable housing and access to talent.
The worker
Lower housing costs, home and work within walking distance, a calmer setting without giving up opportunity.
The territory
New jobs, new demand, recovered buildings, services and skills.
Institutions
A new model for regenerating small municipalities, tested and measured in the field.
The trajectory
Four phases
Growth follows only once demand, occupancy and sustainability have been verified.
- 01
Pilot
The square, first offices and first apartments. Target: 3–5 buildings, 5–10 companies, 30–100 workers.
- 02
Campus
Auditorium, restaurant, coworking, family services and energy infrastructure.
- 03
Ecosystem
Resident startups, residency programmes and a partner network.
- 04
Model
Data, economic validation and replication in other municipalities.
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.
