The €1 houses from Mussomeli in Sicily and many other stunning villages in the Italian countryside might seem like the chance of a lifetime for the lovers of the Italian dream.
Romantic small towns, breath-taking views and amazing food. And a home sold for the cost of an espresso, only €1.
Surprisingly though, not many Italians are interested in this jaw-dropping bargain. Why?

A cafe customer in Venice who was stunned when presented with a €43 ($67) bill for two coffees and two bottles of water has prompted a social media outcry.
Juan Carlos Bustamente, a 62-year-old political campaigner who lives in Italy, shared a photo of his receipt from Caffe Lavena in the notoriously pricy St Mark's Square on Facebook last week, where it was shared nearly 10,000 times and attracted worldwide media attention.
The steep bill was a result of the surcharge the famed eaterie collects from customers sat outside in what is regarded as the sunniest corner of the piazza, opposite the extravagant façade of St Mark's Basilica, where they can listen to the orchestras that play there.
A spokesman for Lavena pointed out that this extra fee is stated on the menu, and that a coffee at the bar inside costs just €1.25 ($1.95).
