Abstract: This paper presents a map of the great transformations of the Italian construction sector that took place in the last decade. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one reconstructs the macroeconomic transformations of this sector by means of data provided by Istat. The second one has a microeconomic content and analyzes the AIDA balance sheet data of companies acting in the construction sector. Data shows an overall recessional dynamics up to 2013, with some recent signs of rebound but still to consolidate. Active policies in the labor market and subsidies for investments in environmental sustainable construction, and building improvement schemes seem to be the most desirable measures to relaunch the sector.
