Most of those 1-Euro houses are in Sicily, Italy. This is connected to the fact, that "la famiglia" ("the family", mafia) is controlling everything in society. They will even give you presents worth more than 1 Euro, because they know they will get every cent back from you. If you stay long enough there, they will give you orders (like "you need to make this and this") and if you refuse to do it, they will - and I am not kidding or making it up - just kill your children (if you have them). So - no - I would not buy this 1-Euro house in Sicily, Italy. It is cheaper to go to the hotel there than to own anything... People are relocating from Sicily because of this problem...
- Aeolun 6y ago> they will - and I am not kidding or making it up - just kill your children Gonna need some form of source on that claim before I’ll believe it. This sounds like something that happened once, but not regularly.
- pulse7 6y agoThis has been told by the people who relocated, because they were not willing to risk their children. Another example: if you start your business there, someone from "the family" will come after a while and tell you: "You need a secretary. And I have found one for you." Now if you reject them, they will go after you. This is why people are leaving. It would be a beautiful place to live, but because of this, people are living. Many Italian politicians tried to fight "the family", most of them were killed.
- Aeolun 6y agoWhen I said source I meant something other than more anecdotes.
- jaclaz 6y agoAre you talking by experience or you just read an informed article about this? I happened to live some 15 years in various parts of Sicily and that never happened to me, possibly because I have no children. >People are relocating from Sicily because of this problem... Any data to support this theory?
