Too soon?

As the European champs return to Italy after their win against England and you could heading to Italy aswell.

Villages across Italy are asking people to move to the picturesque country by offering up to €28,000 incentives.

Before you going packing your bags, there are a few conditions.

Applicants can be no older that 40 years of age and  must work in a profession that is required in the area or set up a new business.

The areas that are included are dotted around the region of Calabria in the south of Italy.

Although the areas are guaranteed to give you sunny weather, they have been hit by depopulation in recent years.

Gianluca Gallo a regional councillor said that the money would be paid to applicants in monthly  installments.

According to Ladbible, he told CNN:

"We're honing the technical details, the exact monthly amount and duration of the funds, and whether to include also slightly larger villages with up to 3,000 residents.

"We've had so far a huge interest from villages and hopefully, if this first scheme works, more are likely to follow in coming years.

"We want this to be an experiment of social inclusion. Draw people to live in the region, enjoy the settings, spruce up unused town locations such as conference halls and convents with high-speed internet.

"Uncertain tourism and the one euro houses are not the best ways to revamp Italy's south."
