Property in Italy – The history

The first pioneers of buyers willing to invest in property in Italy landed here a long time ago. In the 1950s and 1960s a lot of farmers left the country side to move to big cities where the economic boom would give them an easier life. This left their land and, most important for our case, their homes abandoned. With the most of the inhabitants leaving the countryside of course there was no one interested in buying those properties. The price of these properties started falling along with their structures, but when the first British and Americans came to Italy, especially to Tuscany, everything changed. When they saw the beauty of the style of property in Italy they fell in love with it, with the structure of the property, the landscape surrounding those properties and, of course with the nice and friendly people living there. Attracted also by the low prices they started to buy property in Italy at a ridiculous price, some of the buyers were aware that that could be a great investment and that those properties would reach a great value in some time, but most of them simply wanted to own a property in Italy. They started to restore the properties, beautiful farmhouses and stone houses with the peculiar style that distinguishes the property in Italy from other property markets, they kept the original features of the properties and added new features that weren’t typical of the former property owner such as, one for all, the swimming pool. Now those properties are worth millions! At the beginning the only name that could be heard by the buyers wanting to invest in a property in Italy was "The Chianti-shire", a name taken from the area between Siena and Pisa called Chianti, where everything had begun.
