The Campania Region says it is ready to formally grant the Grand Hotel Taburno in Bonea to the Comunità Montana del Taburno under a comodato d'uso, a formal use-loan, in order to create a clear basis for managing the property and organizing its recovery.
The position was reported on 23 September 2026 by NTR24 and BeneventoNews24 following an intervention in the Campania Regional Council by regional councillor Fernando Errico. Safety works at the building were described as a priority, with recovery to involve the Region, the Comunità Montana del Taburno and the Municipality of Bonea.
What the Region has proposed
According to NTR24, the Region considers securing the Grand Hotel Taburno a priority and is available to grant the property formally in comodato d'uso to the Comunità Montana del Taburno.
The reported purpose of that arrangement is to establish a clear legal basis for use and management and to enable an organized recovery process. The reports do not establish that a new agreement has already been signed, nor do they specify its possible duration.
In general terms, a comodato d'uso identifies who is entitled to use and manage a property owned by someone else. In this case, the reports present such a formal grant as the mechanism the Region is offering to allow the mountain community to proceed in an organized way; they do not detail the exact powers, obligations or maintenance responsibilities that a future agreement would contain.
A region-owned property in Bonea
The supported reporting agrees on the basic facts: the Grand Hotel Taburno is a regional property located in the territory of Bonea, in the Sannio area beneath the Taburno massif, and it has been described as degraded and abandoned.
BeneventoNews24 confirms that the building has suffered degradation, vandalism and theft. Both local reports also note that urban-planning and building-compliance questions remain to be clarified.
No definitive financing package, construction timetable or detailed safety-work plan is identified in the reporting retrieved.
How the issue reached the Regional Council
The issue was brought before the Campania Regional Council through Fernando Errico's Question Time intervention.
An earlier NTR24 report, dated 18 September 2026, says Errico's question concerned the building's condition, the obstacles to its use, its recovery prospects and possible inclusion in a wider territorial, tourism and inland-area development strategy. That earlier call for a concrete recovery pathway provides the institutional context for the Region's latest response.
No official Regional Council transcript or administrative resolution was retrieved to independently verify the statements as reported, so this article relies on the two concordant local-news accounts.
A history going back to 1998
One useful background element is the property's earlier management history. According to the reporting, the property was entrusted to the Comunità Montana del Taburno in 1998, which also acted as the implementing body for a Region-funded redevelopment intervention.
The reports do not provide a complete account of what followed that intervention or how the building returned to its present condition. That history nevertheless helps explain why the proposed solution again centers on the relationship between the Region as owner and the mountain community as local managing body, with the Municipality of Bonea involved.
Why cooperation among three bodies is emphasized
Both reports stress that recovery should involve the Region, the Comunità Montana del Taburno and the Municipality of Bonea.
The reporting does not assign detailed roles to each institution. The emphasis, as presented, is practical: the Region owns the property, the mountain community is identified as the prospective holder under the proposed use-loan, and Bonea is the municipality where the building stands and where planning and building-compliance issues would need clarification.
What remains undecided
Readers should keep three open points in mind.
First, the future use of the building after recovery remains undefined in the retrieved reports. Second, there is no confirmed budget or schedule for safety works. Third, the legal step itself — a formally signed comodato — is reported as something the Region is ready to grant, not as an agreement already concluded.
The earlier council question had raised the possibility of placing recovery within a broader territorial and tourism strategy for inland areas. The latest reports do not go beyond that context to define a specific project for the hotel.
The next verifiable developments to watch are therefore a formal act granting use of the property, clarification of planning and compliance issues, and any published plan for safety works and funding.
