Summary
Italy's 2025 Mountain Law (arts. 6–7) gives doctors, nurses and other health staff, and school staff, who take posts in mountain comuni a yearly tax credit for housing: 60% of rent or mortgage costs, up to €2,500 (75%, up to €3,500, in linguistic-minority comuni). It also gives career and ranking advantages.
Dream spread
Take a hospital or school job in the Italian mountains and the state covers up to 60% of your rent.
Relocation reality check
This is a tax credit against Italian income tax, not a cash grant. You need an Italian public-sector health or school job in an eligible mountain comune. Each strand is capped at €20 million a year nationally, and some implementing decrees (which comuni qualify per measure, credit procedures) were still pending as of mid-2026.
