The term "Albergo Diffuso" originated in Italy and means "decentralized lodging," but now it has become one of the keywords for efforts to revitalize towns by using multiple vacant houses as lodging facilities.It is said that the "Albergo Diffuso" initiative was started when the number of vacant houses increased as residents left the city after a major earthquake.
It is said that in order for the "Albergo Diffuso" project to succeed, it is not enough to simply revitalize vacant houses and turn them into lodgings, but it is necessary to utilize the various features of the town, such as its traditions, specialties, and the hospitality of its residents.
