Can you buy a house in Campania for 1 euro?

Some comuni in Campania have run one-euro schemes. We have 2 on file, of which 1 is open or selling now: Zungoli (paused), Bisaccia (reported open). Every scheme comes with a deposit and renovation deadlines, and the renovation is the real price.

Is Campania losing population?

85% of Campania's comuni with comparable figures had fewer residents in 2025 than in 2019, and the region's comuni as a whole changed by -2.8%. The steepest declines are almost always in the smallest towns.

Does Campania qualify for Italy's 7% tax on foreign pensions?

Yes, in part. 483 of Campania's 550 comuni have 20,000 residents or fewer, which with the region is the location test for the 7% flat tax on foreign pension income. The pension must be foreign-sourced and you must not have been tax-resident in Italy for the previous five years.

Where are the cheapest houses in Campania?

In the small inland comuni that are losing people fastest — the list on this page is a good place to start. Genuinely cheap houses come from three places: one-euro schemes, Italian court auctions, and owners selling privately, often with no agent at all.
