Working Together
for the Future of
Sicily’s Historic Towns
The Sicily Project works alongside municipalities, local organisations and community groups to explore practical ways of attracting new residents, investment and long-term vitality.
Many towns across Sicily face common challenges — declining populations, unused historic buildings and limited economic opportunities.
At the same time, growing international interest in living and investing in Sicily presents new possibilities.
The Sicily Project aims to help connect these realities in practical and thoughtful ways.
HOW WE CAN SUPPORT TOWNS
HOW WE WORK
The Sicily Project does not replace local professionals, planning processes or municipal decision-making. Our role is to contribute perspective, experience and international connections in the early stages of exploring possibilities.
Every town is unique. For this reason, any collaboration begins with listening, understanding local priorities and exploring realistic opportunities together.
CURRENT AREAS OF ENGAGEMENT
Conversations and initiatives currently focus on towns including:
Castronovo di Sicilia
Salemi
Sambuca di Sicilia
Cianciana
Small towns are central to Sicily’s identity.
Their streets, architecture and communities tell the story of the island. Supporting their future is not only about property or tourism — it is about preserving culture while creating sustainable opportunities for new generations.
Thoughtful regeneration can help ensure that these places continue to live, evolve and welcome new residents from around the world.
