An Italian mayor is offering to pay €2,000 to anyone willing to move to his village to stop it becoming deserted.
He has floated the idea newcomers could pay just €50 (£42) a month to rent in the village alongside the welcome lump £1,700 sum.
Mr Galliano said on his Facebook page the low rent scheme could be ready to be rolled out in a couple of months and would need approval from the local council.
One councillor told the Guardian: “We’re still working out the plan, but anyone is welcome to come and live here.
