💨 Abstract

Sara Bertagnolli, with her husband Luca Sguazzini, bought a 1000-year-old three-bedroom house in Sicily for just €1 through Italy’s €1 home scheme. Initially skeptical, they discovered the initiative aims to revive rural areas and boost local economies. The couple faced renovation challenges, transforming their derelict home within a strict budget while embracing the community's spirit. This scheme has attracted many foreign buyers seeking affordable property and a better quality of life.
