Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, is fringed by picture-perfect beaches and has one of the highest life-expectancy rates on the planet. You might assume then, that the island would have no trouble attracting residents. However, this isn't the case, with certain areas struggling to attract new people and families.
Taking action, Sardinian officials have now offered a €15,000 (£12,600) grant to new residents in the hope of revitalising these dwindling communities. Similar to the way we've previously seen €1 homes for sale or offers of €28,000 to move to Calabria.
The president of Sardinia said in a press release, "We have created the conditions for young people to decide to stay and (develop) the economic fabric of the most fragile territories."
