Parli Italiano? If do - and you're a little restless, this may be just up your alley.
A region in southwest Italy is giving away 50 properties for residents to occupy free of charge for ten years as a way to combat population decline. The regional government of Calabria is funding the renovation of the properties, with a reported budget of € 20million ($ 22million).
This means the offer is markedly different to the country's 'one euro' scheme, which allows people to purchase run-down properties in the depopulated rural villages of Sicily, Sardinia, Apulia and Piedmont for a symbolic price of €1, but buyers are responsible for renovation costs.
Under the Calabrian model, the region takes on the renovation in its entirety, but the newcomer does not acquire ownership of the property.
What happens after ten years – whether the agreement is extended, the property returned, or the arrangement converted into something else – depends on the regional framework plan, which has not yet been finalised.
There are 50 free properties available in 26 municipalities, each with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, spread across the five provinces of Calabria.
The programme, named 'La Calabria ti regala la casa' ('Calabria gives you a house'), is exclusively designed for newcomers from outside the region. The properties will be available for ten years under a loan-for-use agreement. The website toview the properties is here:
