Who signs the Villages Manifesto?

The manifesto is signed by Visioni Immobiliari and by Domenico Dentamaro, founder, and is offered to mayors, owners, professionals and resident families of Apulian villages as an explicit pact. The text states the six principles publicly so they can be quoted, copied and audited — the opposite of a private agreement.

What are the six principles of the manifesto?

i. Custody before yield. ii. Resident before tourist. iii. Productive landscape, not stage scenery. iv. Distributed value, not concentrated rent. v. Public method (L.U.C.E.), not private deal. vi. Quarterly KPIs, external audit, no marketing dressing. The six are inseparable: violating one breaks the system.

How does the manifesto relate to the L.U.C.E. method?

The manifesto is the ethical preamble; the L.U.C.E. method (Legami, Uliveto, Custodia, Eredità) is its operational protocol. The manifesto declares "what we will not do"; L.U.C.E. measures "what we actually do" with four quarterly KPIs per pilot village.

How can a mayor or municipality engage with the programme?

A mayor can request to enter the pilot dialogue by writing to the address published on the manifesto page. Engagement starts with a public charter signed by the municipality and Visioni Immobiliari, with the six principles annexed verbatim. There is no private negotiation phase — the document is the negotiation.

Is this manifesto a marketing claim or a binding text?

It is binding by reputation and by contract. Each property sale carried out under the L.U.C.E. method incorporates the six principles by reference into the deed. The four quarterly KPIs are published openly. A pilot village that violates the cap leaves the programme.

Visioni · Stakeholder manifesto

Six principles
for those who decide
the village.

A document for Mayors, Owners, Investors and operators. Read it before signing anything — including with us.

Document: v 1.0
Scope: Puglia
Status: Open consultation

A village is not a real-estate stock to liquidate. It is a community memory built over centuries — and the contracts we sign today will decide whether that memory survives the next thirty years, or whether it becomes a postcard for sale.

Visioni works only where four actors sit at the same table: Municipality, Owners, Investors, operators. This manifesto sets the rules of that table.

I. Principles

Six lines
not to cross.

Each principle is binding for every Visioni operation in villages. Whoever cannot accept them, does not work with us — however large the project.

Identity is non-negotiable

No demolition of identity-bearing volumes. No facade falsifications. Conservative restoration is the default — innovation must demonstrate why.

Stable population first

Every operation must increase or hold stable resident population. If it does not, it does not start. Counted at registry, not at concierge.

Hospitality with a ceiling

Short-term lettings cannot exceed an agreed share of the historic stock. The municipality sets the threshold; Visioni respects it.

Transparent value sharing

Every contract specifies how the capital gain is distributed: vendor, buyer, municipality, operators. Written before signing — never afterwards.

Productive landscape protected

Surrounding olive groves, vineyards and orchards remain productive. Real-estate buyers become co-custodians, not just usufructuaries.

Audit and revocability

The protocol is auditable. Whoever breaches a principle loses access to the platform — including Visioni itself, judged by an external committee.

II. The four actors

Roles, written.

Four chairs at the table. Each chair has obligations — and benefits — defined in advance. No vague intentions, no gentleman's agreements.

i. Municipality

Regulator and gatekeeper.

Sets short-let cap and zoning thresholds.
Validates every operation against the manifesto.
Receives a share of capital gain for public works.
Has revocation power on platform members.

ii. Owners

Custodians selling, not surrendering.

Curated valuation, no pressure pricing.
Right of veto on incompatible buyers.
Anti-flipping clause: 5-year minimum hold.
Profit share on resale within 10 years.

iii. Investors

Capital with a postcode.

Documented identity, traceable funds.
Environmental and social rating, public.
Yield projection over 10 years, not 24 months.
Exit strategy aligned with the village.

iv. 2D · Visioni

Editorial method, not just brokerage.

Curated narrative for each property and place.
Verified due diligence and zero hidden fees.
External audit committee on every operation.
Public KPIs: residents, short-lets, transactions.

Open letter

To the Mayors of Apulia.

A letter, not a brochure. We say openly what we ask of you, and what you can ask of us — before any project, before any signature.

Subject — Pact for the regeneration of the Apulian village

Dear Mayor,

we write to you with the respect owed to whoever, today, holds the keys of a place that has waited centuries.

Your village is not a real-estate stock. It is a community memory, a productive landscape, a fragile economy that wakes up every morning thanks to a few families who chose not to leave. We see it. We have read its census, walked its alleys, listened to its silence in February.

For this reason we do not propose the umpteenth real-estate operation. We propose a pact: a written method that puts your municipality at the centre of every choice, gives owners price dignity, asks investors for traceable patience, and binds us — Visioni — to a public, auditable, revocable protocol.

Concretely, we ask you four things:

i.A meeting, sixty minutes, no commitment. Your secretariat, our editorial team, the historic centre as the only document on the table.
ii.A short-let ceiling. A percentage decided by the Council on the historic stock. Above that ceiling, no Visioni-platform sale starts.
iii.A municipal share of capital gain, earmarked by deed for public works in the historic centre. Written before the first sale.
iv.Right of revocation. If we breach a single principle of the Manifesto, you remove us from the platform. Without negotiation. Without lawyers.

In exchange, we offer you what no agency ever signs: a national-level editorial method, qualified investors with public rating, owners protected from speculative resale, and quarterly KPIs that you publish — not us.

We do not ask for a brand on your municipal letterhead. We ask for the chance to demonstrate, in twelve months and on a single pilot village, that another way is technically — and ethically — possible. If we fail, we leave. If we succeed, the village writes its own next thirty years.

We remain, with sincere esteem, at your disposal.

III. Economic thesis

Slow yield
beats fast extraction.

Real-estate operations that hollow out historic centres deliver high IRR for 36 months and structural decline for 30 years. The Visioni model targets 8–12% per annum on 10-year horizons, with a higher and longer terminal value.

A village with a stable population is, in real-estate terms, a derivative on a real economy. A village without residents is, simply, a stock that depreciates while you applaud it.

IV. Value sharing

Where the
capital gain goes.

To the buyerThe lion's share — they took the risk and signed the manifesto.
To the original vendorA residual share if resold within 10 years above an indexed threshold.
To the municipalityA fixed percentage earmarked for public works in the historic centre.
To 2D · VisioniA transparent fee — no hidden margins, no opaque sub-mandates.

V. Pilot rules

How the
first operation begins.

No grand announcements. One village, one signed protocol, twelve months of measurement, an open report. Then we replicate — or we stop.

01 One village at a timeNo portfolios. Each pilot has its own protocol, its own committee, its own KPIs.
02 12-month horizonPilots are evaluated after one full cycle of seasons. Anything shorter is marketing.
03 Public reportKPIs are published quarterly: residents, short-lets, transactions, complaints.
04 Right of stopAny of the four actors can stop the pilot for documented breach. Visioni included.
05 Replication only after successA second village starts only when the first has hit its KPIs. We grow through evidence, not press releases.
