Get Money to Move to a Tuscan Village

Live in Tuscany … If you’ve ever dreamed of moving to Italy’s Tuscany region to live in the beautiful hills and sip on some of the best wines in the world, this may be the time to do it. The Tuscany Region has launched a new initiative called Residentiality in the Mountains 2024, which will pay people between $10,000 and $32,000 to move to a small Tuscan village with less than 5000 residents. There are 76 towns and villages that qualify. The money is meant to be used to put toward the purchase of a home, and applicants must agree to be a permanent resident and not a vacationer. Tuscan officials say the program is intended “to favor and encourage the repopulation and socio-economic revitalization of mountain areas, acting in contrast to the marginalization of these areas.” If you are interested, you can fill out an application online until July 27th.
