However, Patrica's mayor said people in the town aren't prepared to sell their abandoned homes. AdvertisementThe mayor of a quaint medieval Italian town wants to replicate the one-euro home initiative, inspired by the success stories of places like Mussomeli in Sicily. But according to CNN Travel, homeowners in Patrica, a town of about 3,000 people in central Italy, aren't prepared to sell their abandoned properties. The news outlet said that Lucio Fiordaliso, the mayor of Patrica, has struggled to transform the town using the offer of $1 homes, which Business Insider has covered extensively. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers.

Abandoned homesItalian village Patrica, located south of Rome, is struggling to offload its abandoned homes. Public callMany of the town's local families left in search of a brighter future elsewhere, leaving their homes empty for decades. Some of the houses are simply too neglected to sell, even if the owners were willing to agree to it. But the town’s ready-to-occupy homes, with two-bedroom properties starting at 20,000 euros ($21,832,) proved to be more appealing. “There is interest, but then when many (foreigners) actually see the bad shape of the old homes they’d prefer to opt for turn-key apartments that are already restyled or in need of just minor fixes,” says Grossi.
