The historic mediaeval town is located around 70 kilometres southeast of Rome, according to a translation of the data given on the scheme's website. The town government hopes to counteract the "abandonment of the historic mediaeval village of the city centre" with the one-euro programme.
It is also worth noting that everyone fortunate enough to acquire a property in Maenza must rehabilitate it within three years. People who buy these properties must also pay 5,000 euros or Rs. 4,35,021 as a deposit guarantee. The guarantee payment would be refunded after the work is finished.
