Live Cheap In Bormida, Italy

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with an offer you can't refuse - to live for next to nothing in Italy. You have to live in a village called Bormida, which declined to fewer than 400 people and is now subsidizing new residents with super cheap rent. The city council is even considering cash payments. A restaurant owner confesses there's nothing much to do around here, but he tells The Guardian if you do move in, they do have forests, goats, the church and good food.
