Which are the 9 abandoned villages in Calabria?

In detail, it is a call that affects 9 abandoned villages in Calabria. Four are located north of Cosenza, in alphabetical order Aieta, Albidona, Civita and San Donato di Ninea. The other 3 abandoned villages are Bova, Samo (with the hamlet Precacore) and Sant’Agata del Bianco in the province of Reggio Calabria. The list is concluded by Cuccuri and Santa Severina in the province of Crotone.

“One goal is certainly to repopulate these areas thanks to an experiment that combines demand and supply of labor”, underlines Gianluca Gallo,regional councilor for agricultural policies and agri-food development.

“It is 700-800 euros per month for three years. In the event that they decide to leave before the five-year deadline, the money must be returned to the Region,” says Gianpietro Carlo Coppola,mayor of Altomonte.

Those who are therefore interested in changing their lives and views for the next five years, must wait a few more months, between the end of August and the beginning of September. The call should in fact come out by Mid-August, but before becoming public it needs the clearance of the Ministry of Economic Development. This is a total of EUR 700 000 to be used for social activities.

Calabria has many abandoned villages in need of repopulation.
