Italian towns selling homes for one euro

Some Italian towns are selling ancient, run-down homes for one euro to attract new residents and revitalise communities. The scheme, which began in Sicily in 2008, requires buyers to renovate properties within a set timeframe, with renovation costs ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of euros. Similar programmes are now being trialled in Japan, Ireland, and Croatia, though visa restrictions and limited local services may affect long-term residency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
