A Regional Councillor Gianluca Gallo has stated while speaking to CNN that there may be a one-off support funding for the launch of a new commercial activity.
He said:
"We're honing the technical details, the exact monthly amount and duration of the funds, and whether to include also slightly larger villages with up to 3,000 residents.
"We've had so far a huge interest from villages and hopefully, if this first scheme works, more are likely to follow in coming years."
