> Villages across Italy are selling abandoned properties for 1 euro or less, provided that owners take care of the renovations.

These renovations are typically more expensive than tearing down the house and building a new one, but that is forbidden, because there is probably some kind of regulation and "historical value". So saying that these are low prices is super misleading




My wife (who is from Italy) looked into the total costs in one place (somewhere in Sardinia), and renovations and all, it's still not that expensive.
