New houses for 1 euro in Tuscany
To say that Tuscany is one of the most sought-after and loved regions in Italy, and in the world, is stating the obvious. Yet even in Tuscany, depending on the area, it is possible to have a house by paying very little. The important thing is to choose carefully how and where you buy the house.
Among the many Tuscan provinces, if you look closely, there are some that are less economical (like Florence) and much cheaper, so much so that in some you can even find the famous “1 euro houses”. That is, the houses sold by the municipalities at a symbolic price in exchange for renovations and to put a stop to the loss of population in small urban centers.
It may seem strange, but the redevelopment project works: historic centers and small hamlets, especially in the provinces and in the mountains, are suffering from progressive depopulation and thanks to this initiative (for the moment especially in Southern Italy) it is possible to attract new citizens, who they set in motion a virtuous circle of economy and services. Anyone who manages to buy a house for 1 euro needs schools, newsstands, bakeries, general practitioners and everything a family needs. Thus, inevitably, he buffers the loss of citizenship in these areas and in exchange he obtains a house essentially for free.
The project is called “Houses for 1 euro in Tuscany 2024” and gives anyone, both public and private, both residents in the area and residents elsewhere, the opportunity to buy one or more properties at a negligible cost: from 1 euro to a few hundred of euros in total.
Which municipalities in Tuscany sell houses for 1 euro?
The Tuscan municipalities participating in the initiative in 2024 are Montieri and Fabbriche di Vergemoli. These are the pioneer municipalities in the Italian region, but if we consider the whole of Italy the number of municipalities is many dozens.
In Montieri, where the project has been active for about eight years, 20 houses have already been sold. All at a symbolic price. The data shows that the interest in not letting the Tuscan architectural heritage be abandoned is certainly there.
The unmissable items for the man of style
Since 2017, at Esquire Italia we have wanted to be the masculine for the man of style and substance, reporting on trends, current events and passions with seriousness in the content and a touch of playfulness in the tone. We believe in information that helps us live better, making us freer and more aware at the same time. This is why our journalists put the same passion, care and research into all the content we publish, from the most complex to the seemingly simplest and lightest. The site is free for readers and is financed by advertising, so advertisements and banners appear. Although we make every effort to research and verify, it is not possible to guarantee the absence of errors and the absolute correctness of all the contents we publish. This is why we are always listening to our readers, and ready to collect their suggestions and reports.
