Synopsis

Live your dream of Italy...

Here is your chance to buy your own home in southern Italy for less than the price of a cup of coffee. The picturesque mountain town of Montenello is selling off some of its historic buildings for just ONE EURO each. The only conditions are that purchasers must renovate their new home within the next three years and that they plan to contribute in a meaningful way to this small community.

To be considered as a future resident of Montenello contact the town's mayor, Augusto Rossi. Live your dream of Italy for just one euro.

When the Mayor of a picturesque Italian town launches a new scheme to rejuvenate the community, his advertisement is read with interest and excitement by many. Zara is in her thirties and desperate to get on the property ladder. Tim and Lynda are retiring and need a project. Some are looking for a peaceful bolthole. Others hope to make a profit, start a business, escape a dull life or an unhappy relationship. And there is someone who just might be hiding their true motivation...

Their lives are about to change forever - but can they make their dream of Italy into a reality? A deliciously escapist summer read.

About Nicky Pellegrino

When Nicky Pellegrino's Italian father came to England he fell in love with and married a Liverpool girl. He brought to his new family his passion for food and instilled in them what all Italians know - that you live to eat instead of eating to live.

Goodreads review by Justina on July 02, 2023

Tai knygos "Į Italiją su meile" sakyčiau priešistorė, nustebino ir buvo smagu ir miela skaityti. Patiko, šilta ir jauki knyga, kuri tiesiog alsuoja Italija, jos temperamentu, skoniais ir kvapais. 😉......more

Namas už eurą? Ar galite tuo patikėti? Ar ryžtumėtes tokiai avantiūrai? Net ir žinodami, kad namo remontas jums kainuos daug daugiau nei tik pinigus. Mažo Italijos miestuko meras nusprendžia gyvenvietę prikelti ant kojų, internete įkeldamas skelbimą, jog miestelio valdžia parduoda apleistus namus vos......more

Tikrai labai graži ir šilta knyga. Kaip tik tokia, kurią norisi skaityti tokiu nežinios, liūdesio ir siaubo kupinu metu. Kas gi nenorėtų gražiame Italijos miestelyje įsigyti namo už vieną eurą? O ir įsigyjimo sąlygos atrodo legvai įgyvendinamos. Tereikia per tris metus atlikti namo remontą ir įsilie......more

Goodreads review by Edita on August 04, 2020

Nežinau, ar Sofoklis kolektyvas susimetė vieną eurą „ant namo” Italijoje, tačiau su vyru labai rimtai svarstėme tokią galimybę. Kai prieš kokius penkis metus lietuviškuose naujienų portaluose pasirodė straipsniai, kad Italijoje praktiškai veltui parduodami apleisti namai, susidomėjome ir mes. Tačiau......more

Italijos miestelis Montenelas atrodo lyg apmiręs - jame retai sutiksi jauną žmogų, gyvena vien gerokai vyresni. Jaunasis šio miestelio meras ilgai mąstė kaip atgaivinti šį miestelį ir sugalvojo - parduoti po vieną eurą jau negyvenamus namus, bet naujakuriams bus tik viena sąlyga - turi per trejus me......more
