In some Italian towns, where depopulation has been observed over the past decades, emigrants are willing to pay to move in order to help them adapt at the first stage. In this way, officials are trying to stimulate economic development in remote corners of the country, where young people are leaving en masse in search of a better life and well-paid work, writes The Mirror..

“It's a win-win: you get the chance to start a new life with financial support, and the local economy gets a much-needed boost,” says Wayne Mills, head of operations at Seven Seas Worldwide..

The most attractive offer for new residents is offered by the towns of Presicce and Aquarica, located among picturesque hills near the sea coast. There is a very comfortable climate (the temperature in winter rarely drops below 11°C, and in summer exceeds 30°C) and good ecology, because there are no large factories or enterprises.

Just to simply move there with the whole family and purchase real estate, the region will pay emigrants 30 thousand euros, as well as an additional thousand for each newborn. For those who want to realize their entrepreneurial spirit, the Italian region of Calabria will provide 28 thousand euros for any new business ventures.

Anyone who wants to take important jobs in the region can also receive money. However, this offer is only available to those under 40 years of age.

“This program aims to attract young people to charming towns, rejuvenate the local population and support the prosperity of the Italian countryside,” says Wayne.

According to him, such proposals may be of interest to the so-called “digital nomads” - people who work remotely for international companies and are not tied to their workplace. This way they can live in harmony with nature near the sea without losing their usual income.

Let us recall that Focus previously wrote that over the past few years, sales of houses for one euro in Italy have attracted great interest: dozens of people decided to buy real estate in depopulated cities of the country.

In particular, 49-year-old Rubia Daniels purchased three houses for just one euro each and plans to move to this Mediterranean country in retirement. The “house for one euro” program was launched in Sicily in 2019 as part of an initiative to repopulate isolated areas where houses need restoration.
