Description:

A small town in western Sicily has come up with a revolutionary solution to solve its property problems.

They are offering houses in the town, which sits between two rivers, for just a single euro (81 pence; $1.44).

There are 3,700 houses owned by the council, almost all in the old town, that are in danger of falling down - of crumbling and dying.

There is a catch - those who buy will be obliged to sympathetically renovate the old houses without changing their style within two years at some significant cost.

	Here's an interesting Wikipedia article on the mayor of the town who came up with the idea to sell the old houses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Sgarbi
