A woman bought three houses in Italy for just one euro each. Rubia Daniels, 49, flew out to Mussomeli, Sicily, within days of hearing about the 'one euro home' scheme - launched to help fill up abandoned properties - in 2019.
She bought three run-down historic fixer-uppers - paying just €3 for them in total. They are within 10 minutes' drive of each other, and needed €20,000 worth of work each to restore them to their former glory.
Work is nearly complete on the first home. She plans to turn the largest property into a wellness centre, one into an art gallery, and live in the smallest with partner, Kenneth Pitts, 65, during their retirement.
