Another picturesque Italian town is selling homes for 1 euro, or about $1.11, to attract buyers willing to dive deep into renovations.
The latest town of Bisaccia, which sits in the southern Campania region and just over 80 miles from Naples, is putting 90 homes on the market for $1 that are definitely in need of some TLC in an effort to get people to move there.
In Bisaccia, which was highly affected by emigration as well as a series of earthquakes (the latest in 1980), the arrangement of homes in the town lent itself to groups going in on a renovation together.
We face a very particular situation here," the town's deputy mayor, Francesco Tartaglia, told the network. "The abandoned [area] spreads throughout the most ancient part of the village. Forsaken houses are clustered together, one next to the other along the same roads. Some even share a common entrance.
"That's why we welcome families, groups of friends, relatives, people who know each other or investors to join forces. We encourage them to buy more than just one house to actually have an impact and breathe new life."
