Italian dream village sells houses for 1 euro - and can't get rid of them. Only two houses in the Italian town of Patrica have been sold so far.
In many Italian cities, houses were sold at ridiculous prices to bring life back into the community. A house that is offered for just under one euro looks the same as the same house that was razed to the ground half a century ago. In some cases there was only one heir who decided to sell the house. Many retirees would consider spending more money and buying an apartment in a better condition.
