angi, Sicily

BUILT ON THE SLOPING CREST of Mount Marone, 50 miles southeast of Palermo, the town was settled in the Roman era, if not before. In 2014, it was one of the first in Italy to sell abandoned houses for €1, a program that here, at least, has been relatively successful. Left, the view from a piazza near Corso Fedele Vitale, overlooking a neighborhood where most of the discounted homes were located. Above, children play soccer on the

terrace of the Duomo di San Nicola di Bari. Below, 19th-century frescoes inside the Church of San Cataldo.
