Also, the infrastructure improvement projects in rural areas of the country, such as the refurbishment of commercial buildings, railway stations, and airports, the repair of runways, and the extension of roadways and bridges, are fuelling the strong demand for the Italy construction equipment rental industry.

Italy government development projects
Edison SPA, an electricity and natural gas provider, form collaboration with Snam SPA, an energy infrastructure business, to construct the Puglia Green Hydrogen Valley project in Italy. Three green hydrogen production plants will be built in Brindisi, Taranto, and Cerignola as part of the project. Italy has also hastened the electrification of construction equipment.

The MoH-Hospital of the Cattinara Redevelopment-Friuli Venezia Giulia project, with a project value of $180 million, was Italy's largest construction project, with construction beginning in Q1 2022. The project MoH - Hospital of Cattinara Redevelopment - Friuli Venezia Giulia is in Trieste, Italy.
