Italian dream village sells houses for 1 euro - and can't get rid of them. Two houses in the town of Patrica have been sold so far.

In both cases there was only one heir who decided to sell relatively quickly. Many would consider spending more money and buying an apartment in better condition. In many cases, the house that is offered just under one euro looks the same. "We knew that after half a century our parents' house was completely destroyed, razed to the ground," one owner said.
