"The Struggle to Sell Empty Homes for One Euro in an Italian Town"

The Italian town of Patrica, struggling to sell its abandoned homes for one euro, faces challenges due to ownership disputes, neglected properties, and difficulty tracking down descendants of original owners. While some homes have been sold, others are in such disrepair that they are unsellable. The town's mayor is exploring alternative ways to attract newcomers, such as tax breaks for those starting businesses and renovating properties, but faces competition from more appealing, ready-to-occupy homes in the area.
