This beautiful city in Italy will actually pay you to live there

It sounds too good to be true, but that's not the case.


If you have already dreamed of living the lifestyle Diane Lane ofUnder the sun of Tuscany, or the fantasy Aziz Ansari of season 2 ofMaster of no, now your luck. The small town of Candela, in the region of Puglia of Italy, feels a little lonely. Back in the 90s, they had more than 8,000 inhabitants. Now they are up to 2,770 people.

This makes the mayor of the city, Nicola Gatta, very sad. He proposed a wonderful plan to restore the charming enclave to his old glory: he will pay residents living there.

Yes, you heard well. Stefano Basicielli, man right mayor,CNN says They offer, "800 euros for singles, 1,200 euros of couple, from 1,500 to 1,800 euros for families of three members and more than 2,000 euros for families of four to five people." They can also offer tax credits on nurseries, invoices and waste disposal, if they feel generous.

The only criterion is that the new resident must rent a place in Candela and get a job that pays at least € 7,500 per year. And yes, they are open to foreigners (why are you still here, reading this article?).

In case you think that capture is that Candela is one of the 0.0008% of Italian cities that do not look like a postcard, retense it.

The city is located in the heart of this magnificent country, just an hour and a half to the east of Naples. Its geographical and cultural proximity of this beloved Italian city is probably the reason why, according to Gatta, "up to 1960, travelers called [Candela]" Nap'licchie "(small Naples), for the streets full of Travelers, tourists, merchants and screaming sellers. "

If you are considering something cataclysmic to make it a ghost town, you are mistaken again. According to BasiCielli, there has been no crime in Candela for 20 years. Young people simply influenate greater cities looking for other job opportunities, leaving only seniors behind.

But for the people who are burned about the life of the city, Candela offers the perfect respite, which is probably why Photographer Francesco Delvecchio has decided to take the offer of the mayor and move to another part of the region.

"It's a quiet and calm lifestyle. No crowds, easy to move, no traffic or smog," said Delvecchio, describing the city's sky version.

Not that there is nothing to do. In summer, tourists flock to the trasonna, a 35 centimeter street that the local claim is the narrowest alley in Italy. Every year, the city is mocked with petal puzzles for the annual flower festival. In the fall, there is the cereal festival to celebrate the harvest and Christmas is announced with a wonderful magic country that includes shimmering lights, sparkling trees, joy fires and a complete recreation of the history of Saint Nick In the house of Santa Claus.
