Italian town sells houses to anxious Americans

Are you an American and dislike the election result? Welcome to buy a home for one euro on the Italian island of Sardinia. That is the message in a new campaign from the village of Ollolai.

We can naturally not mention the name of an American president who has just been elected, but we all know that there are many Americans who want to leave the country, says Mayor Francesco Columbu to CNN.

Columbu says that he loves the USA and is convinced that Americans are the "best people" to help revive his community.

We really want and will focus on Americans above all, he says.

Buying a house costs from 1 euro to 100,000 euros, depending on the renovation needs of the house.

We cannot of course prohibit people from other countries from applying, but Americans will get a fast track.

Ollolai has also previously tried to attract new residents with low housing prices.

But the attempts have not gone as well as the authorities had hoped. Since 2018, only ten homes have been sold for one euro, equivalent to 11 kronor.
