Following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, many Americans disillusioned by the results are considering relocating abroad. For those seeking a fresh start, a small village in Italy’s Sardinia is offering an enticing opportunity: homes for just $1.
The village of Ollolai, like many areas in Italy, has seen a significant decline in population over the decades, leaving many homes abandoned and in disrepair. To revive the community, local authorities are selling these properties at a nominal price to attract new residents.

Shortly after the U.S. election on November 5, Ollolai’s administration launched a website targeting disappointed Americans, especially those unsettled by the election results. The website invites visitors to escape global political fatigue and embrace a more balanced lifestyle in the serene beauty of Sardinia, referring to the move as a chance to “start anew in a breathtaking paradise.”
Ollolai’s mayor, Francesco Columbu, told CNN that the initiative aims to breathe life into the village by welcoming American settlers. “I love Americans,” Columbu said, “and I believe they could be the perfect people to bring energy and renewal to our community.”
