Good news also the the property market!!
The latest news of the Italian central bank (Economic Bulletin 4/2015):

Economic activity in Italy has been expanding since the beginning of 2015, at an annualized rate of about 1.5 per cent. The latest cyclical signs – including the gain in industrial production, the strengthening of household and business confidence and the rise in purchasing managers’ indices – indicate that the expansion continued in the third quarter at about the same pace as in the first half of the year. After years of contracting domestic demand, the strengthening of the recovery in private consumption and the gradual revival of investment in productive capital are contributing to the expansion of output.
