Mumbai, October 14: Is the Italian town of Presicce-Acquarica really offering up to 30,000 Euros to anyone willing to relocate and have children? A viral video claims that due to a declining population, the town is providing grants, visas, and even a “woman” to encourage new residents. The clip directs viewers to a website called “Mizmaxs” for registration, fueling excitement and scepticism alike.
Many social media users have shared the video, with some presenting it as a fresh opportunity to move to Italy and receive financial incentives. The claim suggests that the town government is actively seeking immigrants or outsiders to settle there, promising up to 30,000 Euros (roughly INR 1 crore) for relocating and starting a family. The viral post also portrays a public ceremony as evidence, reinforcing the notion that this is a legitimate, ongoing program.

However, a fact check revealed that these claims are misleading and outdated. The specific 30,000 Euro grant program was launched in 2021 to attract new homeowners but is now closed to new applicants, as reported in late 2023. The scheme was aimed only at people who purchased houses built before 1991 and registered as residents; there was no provision for immigrants or non-citizens to receive the benefits. Authorities have also clarified that the town does not provide women, tickets or visas as part of the program.

Furthermore, the website “Mizmaxs” mentioned in the viral video is not operated by the Italian government or the municipality of Presicce-Acquarica. Presicce-Acquarica, located in Italy’s Puglia region, remains a charming destination with historic Baroque architecture, olive groves, and proximity to the Ionian Sea. While the town had offered cash incentives to encourage settlement and childbirth, the program has ended, and the viral claims exaggerating the benefits are false.
