The need to reactivate investments in the public works sector, in particular those aimed at developing the network of essential services for the economic and social life of a country, is backed up with increasing force by the various economic sectors facing a situation which is particularly difficult and delicate today. Even so, faced with the recognised validity of the request and the present economic trend, both national and international, there is not much hope for generous politics in public spending. In this framework one can insert a perspective capable of producing useful results: the involvement of private capital, both national and foreign, in the realisation of public works (either infrastructure or of an administrative nature), even in an urban context. Such a perspective takes us back to a project financing experience that deals with the possibility that public works, or at least works with a public relevance, can continue to perform their functions and spread their benefits even if they are realised with the help of private funds.
