OLLOLAI, Italy: In order to tackle the problem of under-population, mayor of a village in Italy named Ollolai is offering people a chance to own their home for only 1 pound.
The idea is to encourage more and more people to come and settle in the village. Following the announcement, a large number of people expressed desire of living here.
According to previous statistics, the population of Ollolai dropped drastically from 2250 to only 1300.
However, the village undeniably has the history and beauty to attract people from everywhere.
"We boast prehistoric origins," says Efisio Arbau, Ollolai's mayor. "My crusade is to rescue our unique traditions from falling into oblivion.
"Pride in our past is our strength. We've always been tough people and won't allow our town to die," he said.
The village currently has 200 uninhabited houses which the mayor aims to populate again.
