There is this British guy that is single handedly giving some of Italy's dying villages a new life. He's 33 and from London. Couldn't afford to live there anymore so he moved to a small village in Sicily called Mussomeli (the one that went viral a few years ago for its €1 housing scheme). He bought 2 houses through the scheme and has been renovating them himself, documenting everything on Instagram. Grew to around 800k followers across his socials in the process and now the mayor of a nearby town has reached out and asked him to partner up on a similar scheme there. They're planning to sell around 100 houses together, while also promoting Sicily to an international audience. He's also buying 3 of those himself, bringing his total to 5. Channel 4 are joining him too btw, so this is now national news in the UK. I'm frequently asked how hard renovation in Italy is. My answer is always the same, it's not easy, especially in smaller villages..but possible. This guy has done it multiple times over and in Sicily of all places. He's even starting to look like a Sicilian.
