"A contribution that can further increase with the" Italian Pharmacy in PNRR "Project, developed by Federfarma and presented to Parliament and the Government. This project moves in line with the timing of the investments envisaged by the Next Generation EU and creates a competition of private capital to the extent of 3 euros for every public euro, activating a volume of investments equal to 2.3 billion euros over the three years ".
