00:00

maybe you've seen these headlines towns

00:02

all across Italy are giving away houses

00:04

for literally one Euro or they will even

00:07

pay you thousands of dollars to come and

00:09

live there but while this has been a

00:11

popular feature in the Travel section of

00:13

news websites It hides an important

00:15

question why are they doing that and why

00:18

would a country like Italy need to pay

00:20

people to live there well if you look

00:22

deeper this seemingly funny news story

00:25

reveals what life in Italy is like today

00:27

because while we tend to see Italy as an

00:30

idyllic Place Italians themselves might

00:33

disagree and beneath the surface there

00:35

is a grim economic reality that is

00:37

slowly becoming more and more obvious so

00:40

why is Italy paying people to move there

00:42

why are there so many empty houses and

00:45

why is all of that really bad news

00:49

while it used to apply only to remote

00:52

Mountain Villages now it's a story

00:54

that's repeated all over Italy in all

00:57

parts of the country and in towns of all

00:58

sizes there are millions of empty homes

01:01

and the number is rising every year and

01:04

many of them are beautiful historical

01:06

houses in some of the most picturesque

01:08

parts of the Italian Countryside houses

01:10

that are literally part of Italy's

01:12

cultural heritage that's why in order to

01:15

save them towns across Italy have been

01:17

launching so-called one Euro schemes

01:19

basically the towns offer the empty

01:22

homes up for a sale usually aiming to

01:24

attract Foreigners for the symbolic

01:26

price of one Euro meaning that the

01:28

houses are basically given away for free

01:30

they do come with some conditions and

01:32

usually the buyers are required to

01:34

contractually agree to spend a certain

01:36

amount of money on renovation since most

01:39

of the houses have been empty for quite

01:41

a while but even so the cost of the

01:43

renovation is quite low and it's usually

01:45

between 20 to 30 000 Euros and so while

01:48

a potential buyer gets an extremely

01:51

cheap property the local town has one

01:53

less crumbly house to worry about but

01:55

while that's where the articles about

01:57

this usually end this is where the

02:00

really interesting part begins because

02:02

the real question at the bottom of this

02:04

is why are there millions of empty
