Italy’s one-dollar home bonanza seems to be back on as coronavirus restrictions lift across the country. And one town is hoping its declared “Covid-free” status will help attract buyers looking to get themselves a bargain.

And the deals seem to be better than ever.
Cinquefrondi, a community in the southern region of Calabria, calls itself a “Covid-free village” after swerving the ravages of the virus, and hopes its status will sweeten the appeal of homes it’s putting on the market for €1, or a little over a dollar.
The aim, like other destinations making similar offers, is to reverse a depopulation trend caused by younger folk heading off in search of work. In Cinquefrondi, Mayor Michele Conia considers the task so serious he’s given it a code name: “Operation Beauty.”
