Naro in Sicily has also joined the 1 Euro house projects implemented in Italy's towns struggling with population loss. While abandoned houses in the historic town bearing traces of the Middle Ages are put up for sale symbolically for 1 Euro, foreigners who meet the necessary conditions can also apply to the program. However, 1 Euro only represents the sale price of the house; renovation, notary, registration, tax, and other renewal expenses will be covered by the buyer.
A new address has been added to the projects for owning a house for 1 Euro in Italy. In the historic town of Naro, in the province of Agrigento in southwestern Sicily, a symbolic-price sale has been launched to bring abandoned houses back into use.
The project approved by the Naro Municipality aims to reuse empty buildings in the town, reduce population loss, and support economic and tourist activity in the region.
FOREIGNERS CAN ALSO BUY HOUSES FOR 1 EURO
The program is not only for Italian citizens. Foreigners who meet the requirements regarding the purchase and maintenance of the property can also apply for the 1 Euro houses in Naro.
It is intended that new owners restore the historic buildings and bring them back into use, thus contributing to the revitalization of life in the center of Naro.
APPLICATIONS ARE MADE ONLINE
Those who want to become homeowners in Naro can make their applications through a platform that offers services in multiple languages. The platform also includes information about the steps to be followed during the purchase process.
The project highlights Naro's historic center and Baroque architecture, as well as the Chiaramontano Castle and views extending to the inland areas of Agrigento.
There is an important reason why the sale price is extremely low. You are not buying a ready-to-use house for 1 Euro.
In the listings examined by Euronews Travel, it is stated that all the structures put up for sale need renovation. Among the listings, there is also a three-bedroom building overlooking the historic settlement area. However, it is stated that this house also requires inspection and renovation.
Therefore, 1 Euro is only the symbolic sale price of the property. The actual expenditure required to make the house habitable can be much higher.
