Places of departure, small towns represent the melting pot of common feeling, regional and national identities, tangible and intangible heritages. But if it is now imperative to intervene also in order to stop the migratory phenomenon that affects them, it is useful to implement logical schemes and analysis procedures aimed at a rigorous selection of investment options. Thus, the paper proposes an innovative model for the economic evaluation of projects aimed at the valorization of small municipalities. In particular, the study investigates criteria, sub-criteria and indicators to be implemented according to the Analytical Hierarchy Process approach.  a20362404 (ISSN)
