An Italian town that offered $1 homes was transformed by an influx of remote workers and tourism

• Mussomeli in Sicily launched a one-euro home program in 2017.
• It was a huge success, the deputy mayor said, with nearly 95% of the inventory sold within 5 years.
• The sales led to an influx of tourists, remote workers, and investment, Toti Nigrelli added.

It all began with an enticing offer: homes in a picturesque Sicilian town for just one euro, barely more than a dollar.
