Dinara Jane and her partner, both Brazilian nationals, purchased a house in the city of Campofranco, on the island of Sicily, Italy, for the symbolic value of 1 euro. According to Brazilian news portal Metrópoles, the acquisition stood out not only for its price, but also for the location, privacy and size of the property.
The housing is part of the one-euro homes program, aimed at revitalizing small Italian towns affected by depopulation. According to the same source, interested parties assume the costs of renovations, need to present a revitalization project and deposit a deposit, in addition to being responsible for paying bureaucratic fees.
Choice based on lifestyle
Dinara Jane explained on social media that the choice was not motivated by cost, but by emotional factors. The publication adds that the fact that the house was isolated and that the space was suitable for what they were looking for were determining factors for the couple.
“We didn’t choose the house for an economic reason, but an emotional one”, writes Dinara. The content creator also highlighted that they were looking for a place that corresponded to the lifestyle they wanted to build.
Fresh start requires courage
According to the same source, Dinara emphasized that the acquisition represents a new beginning: “We chose a new beginning and new beginnings require courage.” The video he published on social media has already surpassed 800,000 views. It is possible to see the interior of the house still intact, without any intervention.
The one-euro houses program aims to attract new residents to small historic towns and villages, ensuring the preservation of abandoned heritage. The portal writes that the initiative requires buyers to meet deadlines for renovations and revitalization, encouraging investment and maintenance of locations.
Couple’s perspective
The couple highlighted that the renovations will be planned according to needs and budget, with the main focus being the construction of a functional and welcoming space. The portal explains that the project is designed to respect the original structure of the property, maintaining its historical identity. Dinara and her partner see the process as an opportunity to build a new chapter, integrating into the local community and participating in the city’s revitalization.
The couple’s experience has attracted attention on social media and serves as an example for those looking to change their lives and at the same time preserve their heritage.
