Kijiji
cha Bormida kilichoko katika Mkoa wa Liguria nchini Italia kimetoa ofa
ya dola zaidi ya 2000 ambayo ni zaidi ya Tsh milioni nne kwa mtu yeyote
atakayekuwa tayari kuhamia katika kijiji hicho. Pia serikali ya kijiji
imetoa ofa ya kodi ya nyumba kwa wapangaji wa nyumba hadi dola 50 kwa
mwezi. Hii yote ni kuwavutia watu kuhamia katika kijiji hicho cha
milimani ambacho kinakumbwa na uhaba wa wakazi kadiri siku
zinavyokwenda. Kwasasa kijiji kina jumla ya wakaazi 394 tu.

| Instead of seeing a heavy demographic deficit, the situation is
stable thanks to the initiatives of the municipal administration to
encourage those who, by necessity or pleasure, wish to live in a small
mountain community like ours," Galliano told Il Vostro Giornale, another local publication. But with only four people added, he decided more-enticing measures were needed, hence the subsidies, which also include a $130-a-month rent for larger homes. According to Britain’s Guardian newspaper, details of the offer still needed to be settled and approved by the local council, Galliano wrote on his Facebook page. But if the proposal is passed, anyone who moves to Bormida will be given €2,000. You probably won’t be able to spend the money all at once – the “Bor(ing)” in Bormida, which has a population of more than 1,000 in the 1950s, gives a clue as to the pace of its life. According to Cosmopolitan magazine, the village has one main street, four restaurants (hey, this is Italy), a bed and breakfast and a post office that opens only three days a week. Much of the architecture dates back to 1200s. |
Bormida, located in the mountainous Liguria region, only has 394 residents -- and the mayor wants to change that.
