Italian Village Offering Houses For $1

An Italian village that bills itself as "COVID-free" is attempting to attract new residents by selling homes for $1 -- but the new owners must promise to renovate the houses.

Cinquefrondi, in the southern region of Calabria, bills itself as a "COVID-free village," as there haven't been any confirmed coronavirus cases reported in the community. The Calabria region has one of Italy's lowest levels of reported cases.

The "Operation Beauty" initiative is designed to attract new residents willing to renovate abandoned homes that have fallen into disrepair.

The program offers the houses for only $1, but the purchasers must pay an annual policy insurance fee of about $280 until renovations on the homes are complete. The new owners of the homes will be subject to a $22,470 fine if they do not complete renovations within three years.

Years ago, I dated an Italian guy. I met him here when he was visiting America for the summer. Once he went back to Italy, we continued to date for a few months. I flew to Italy to see him and spent two amazing weeks there. He lived in a village close to Venice and his family also had a home in Parma. Both places were gorgeous!

To date, Italy is the most amazing place I've ever visited! The food was unreal and the scenery was truly stunning. My hope is to go back one day. I've never visited the southern region but you can check it out in the video below. $1 for a home is a deal! If only I could speak Italian..........
