I've heard stories like that multiple times in Italy:
A house ‘in construction’ doesn’t have any taxes attached to it, hence the Sicilian’s abode can become an eternal work in progress to avoid hefty fees and excesses.

Came here to say this. You think it's a joke but the joke's on you
I think that I heard about a similar thing happening in Greece
They can't even get their buildings to stand up straight. Look at this mess:
They just don't build them like they used to, I tell you what
Nobody wants to work anymore.
I think it's time for another Fox News interview with an r/antiwork mod.
I shared this with my best friend from Italy and he snorted his coffee through his nose. : D
Tell him to get back to work!
Silly italian
That isn't how you drink coffee.
Also, that is where the cocaine is supposed to go
My italian friend says its because of funding problems
Have you been to Greece?
No, I'm not referring to more ancient ruins. Greeks allegedly(?) leave rebar protruding through their roofs to keep them legally unfinished and save on taxes.
Wouldn't that lead to faster corrosion, as the ends of the bars have exposed ends and rust will start from there?
Well the whole rebar will not rust through that fast
Common in the Middle East as well.
The colosseum was in use for far longer (80 AD to 1349 AD) than America is discovered (1492 AD to present)
Are they stupid?
No they’ve just always been bad at civil engineering projects.
Italy is very lazy. Same as how they cant be fucked making a pizza sometimes so they fold it and call it a Calzone. Or being to lazy to make lasagna so they just mix it all and called it lasagnette. Smh 🤦
