3. In recent years, towns across Italy have been racing to launch plans aimed at attracting new residents to revive the towns. From abandoned homes lling for a euro, to ready-to-occupy hous at low prices, there has been a tendency for competition.
The picturesque town of Presicce is the latest to enter the game with a very alluring offer. Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty hou and take up residency. Even better, the hous for sale as part of the deal are priced around 25,000 euros. The cash motivation is expected to breathe new life into the depopulating town, wh
