Depopulated Italian Town Plans To Attract Buyers With Properties Priced At Rs 86

To fight depopulation, a common phenomenon in small towns of Italy, a Sicily town is offering house for Rs 86. The Salemi town locals who were planning to sell their properties were further affected by the pandemic. Surrounded by vineyards and olive-groves, over 4,000 residents had left town after 1968 Belice-Valley Earthquake. Mayor Domenico Venuti said the properties belong to city-Council and they have made infrastructural developments and await new customers.
