The Villages Selling Houses for the Price of a Coffee

Italian hill towns selling empty stone houses for one euro — not a stunt, a plan to stay alive. Sambuca di Sicilia sold its first sixteen houses in 2019, then a second round at two euros, also sold out; Mussomeli has sold hundreds. The euro is the handshake: a deposit of around five thousand euros, returned when the work is done, and a renovation within a few years — local stone, the right tiles, the right colours. A euro buys the key; the renovation buys the village another generation. Old walls, given new mornings.
