LIVING LA VITA BELLA IN ITALY絕美義大利小鎮免費讓你入住

【摘要2020.5.14.蘋果】

The problem is that many residents are leaving those homes behind to seek job opportunities in the city. So, the mayor had a great idea: why not offer these abandoned homes for free?

Before you start rushing off to Sicily, know that “free” doesn’t exactly mean “for nothing” in the first place. If you want one of the roughly 100 old empty homes, you have to make a 5,000 Euro deposit. That amount will be returned to you after you have repaired your Sicilian fixer-upper.

此處的問題是許多居民遺留下自己的房子、到都市裡尋找工作機會。因此市長想出了一個絕妙點子：何不免費贈送這些廢棄的房屋呢？

在你啟程直奔西西里島之前，首先要知道「免費」並不完全代表「什麼都不用給」。如果你想入手這裡約百間老舊空房裡的其中一間，就必須先拿出五千歐元的押金。這筆款項會在你修繕好你的西西里島破屋後退還給你。
