Small Italian towns have definitely been devising an interesting strategy trying to reverse the demographic decline that is now an all-too-common phenomenon in the European countryside. We have all heard of the various 1-euro house offers to future residents, and now there is a different twist on that tactic from the towns of Santa Fiora in Tuscany and Rieti in Lazio.
The authorities in these towns are keen on attracting the tech-savvy young people to settle in with an offer to subsidize 50% of rental costs. The condition is that the future residents should not be just long-term tourists looking for a place to kick back but people with actual remote-style jobs – the kind of people increasingly known as digital nomads.
