In the USA, we have a similar problem in our Great Plains area. Oddly enough, COVID-19 has helped us, as people have left areas like Denver to resettle in our little towns.
In Spain we have the same problem, but ours is even bigger, we have massive extensions of land which are classified as the most sparcely populated of Europe. Both my parents came from this type of regions to Madrid, where we are way too many people in a single province. This issue has been a problem for centuries, nowadays some towns are taking advantage of remote working, rural turism, inmigration from outside of Spain and fiscal incentives to regain some people and services.
There’s probably worthwhile architectural salvage to be had in these places. Expensive to be sure, but niche industries have been created on less before🤔
as someone who planned to buy one of these houses after lived in Italy 2 years, pls, first see why no Italians want to live there, don't think you found the gold pot before locals.
I say give large family loans and free ghost house to any young ITALIAN couple (as in Italian by blood) and knock off chunks of the loan for every child they have. If they renovate a home in a ghost town, they derve a monetary reward.
Let them go; things change and it is not necessary to artificially pump life into these places which forces have already abandoned over time. Appreciate them, pick a few to keep as tourist attractions, and let nature take the rest. Things always change, and that's okay.
Exactly. Put the money and resources to places where people actually live currently. I know the infrastructure in Italian cities and towns need improvements. Stop wasting money trying to save these villages. There’s a reason the people who originally lived in them and the “newcomers” will be leaving soon too.

This is actually so interesting to me as my grandma comes from one of these now uninhabited villages 🇮🇹
My sister bought a $1 house in southern 🇮🇹 in 2019
It’s not a scam but it’s far to be as simple as it sounds
Most of the houses has a monument protection. So you buy a house for 1$ but cannot rebuild the house .
We want more people! But not poor people! We want RICH people!

Concentrate on the best placed, infrastructure and transport wise, you can't save them all
This channel deserves more views.

There are reasons why nearly everyone live in a city

There's plenty of immigrants who'd move into these towns.
No thanks, Europe has enough. Let’s worry about native populations.
@@bikesrcool_1958 Who don't want children.
If the Italian government was more open to Africans, these towns would be bustling cities
Why would you want narco towns full of criminals?
Why?
Why would an immigrant move to a dying town with no opportunities?
