Since 2014, more than 9 people have fled Molise, a small, predominantly mountainous region, leaving its population now at around 000. Not a single newborn was registered in nine cities in the region in 305.

Requirements for receiving money include moving to a village in a region with a population of less than 2000 residents and an obligation to open any type of business that will bring money to the village.

“If we were to offer funding, it would be another charitable gesture,” said Molise President Donato Toma, adding: “This is a way to breathe life into our cities and increase the population at the same time.”

The benefits of money will not be limited only to those who move there. Toma said these cities will receive more than 11 000 dollars a month to help build infrastructure and promote cultural events. He said that this would give people a reason to stay.

“Otherwise, in a few years we will be back where we started,” he added.

This is not the first time that an area or city in Italy offers money for moving and living in a particular place.

In 2017, the northwestern Italian city of Bormida offered people more than $ 2000 for moving and settling there. At that time, only 394 people lived in the village.
