You get up to $31,000 for moving to and living in these small towns in Italy

 

Italy is full of beautiful, culture-rich villages that feel like a dream to visitors. However, many of these charming places are losing people as locals move to cities for better jobs and opportunities.

To tackle this issue, many regions and towns in Italy have started programs to bring in new residents. Basically, they’re offering to pay people to live there.

 

 

Here are some of the financial programs currently available in Italy:
