Treasury asks regions, local agencies for property to sell

(ANSA) Rome, April 2 - The Italian Treasury wrote to regional and local authorities Thursday asking them to scour their territory for property that can be sold off to raise cash, officials said.
    The letter signed by Treasury Director-General Vincenzo La Via and the director of the Italian public property agency, the Agenzia dell' Demanio, Roberto Reggi, urges the authorities in regions, provinces and municipalities to tell them about real estate that can be sold or valued with a view to sale even by the end of this year.
    The Agenzia dell' Demanio's regional offices will provide support and assistance to authorities in valuing and marketing such properties and expediting the relevant paperwork, said the letter.
