Presicce, Italy is providing roughly $30,000 to people who move to the historic town. It's just the latest small Italian village to try to lure newcomers by dangling major incentives. Other Italian towns experiencing population declines and struggling with derelict properties have instituted similar programs. According to Italian listing site Immobiliare, homes in the Presicce-Acquarica comune normally sell for 669 euros, or about $690, per square meter. A typical home of 46 square meters, or about 500 square feet, would normally cost just over $31,000.
