Ollolai is a small town in Sardinia, the population of which has decreased significantly – in recent years to 1,150 people. Only a few children are born there each year, and many families leave in search of better opportunities and jobs. However, authorities want Ollolai to remain in good spirits. Over the years, they have tried to make the place more attractive to attract new residents and revive the economy.
Rural communities in Italy saw their opportunity in the disappointment felt by many Americans following the announcement of the results of the last US presidential election. A special website has even been launched where you can get information about houses for sale.
