(Dunya News) – Italian town Sambuca is selling dozens of homes for €1, or just over a dollar.

The step has been taken to revive a community that has suffered from depopulation in recent years as residents move to bigger cities. “It’s not the first Italian town to lure in outsiders with tempting offers but,” said local officials.

"As opposed to other towns that have merely done this for propaganda, this city hall owns all €1 houses on sale," says Giuseppe Cacioppo, Sambuca s deputy mayor and tourist councilor.
