This Small Italian Village Will Pay You To Move There

Have you ever wanted to quit your job and move far, far away? Usually, we would tell you to keep dreaming, but not today. We’re here to tell you that you can not only do that, but you can get paid to live in Italy.

Yes, read that sentence over as many times as you need to. This is a real opportunity.

The Guardian reports that the mayor of Bormida, a remote mountain village in Italy, is prepared to pay €2,000 (or $2,170) to anyone who is willing to move there. The village is currently home to just 394 people, and with the population dwindling, city council officials are desperate to boost the economy.

The mayor, Danielle Galliano, says the town has been deserted over the past few decades because millennials are moving to the city to find better jobs. (The closest city to Bormida is Savona, which is 22 miles away).

Galliano is not only prepared to shell out a few thousand dollars to each person who moves to the village, but she’s also offering rents as low as €50 ($54) a month for a modest flat and €120 ($138) a month for a spacious apartment.

If you’re wondering what the nightlife is like in Bormida, locals interviewed by The Guardian say there basically isn’t any. But you’re not signing up to live in a thriving metropolis: you’re signing up to live a low-key life in the country.

“There is nothing much to do here,” said local restaurant manager Oddone Giuseppe. “But life is so simple and natural, we have forests, goats, the church, and plenty of good food. Life would definitely be free of stress.”

Find us a job and we’ll consider this proposal, Bormida. Your bargain is interesting and one we may not be able to refuse.
