A Italian town that's trying to reinvent itself figures in today's Geo Quiz.
The small town in question is in Sicily. It once served as headquarters for Italian 19th century hero Giuseppe Garibaldi. But -- more recently -- an earthquake and a faltering economy made it more of a ghost town.
Now the town is planning its revival. It's giving away earthquake-damaged houses in the town's charming old quarter for ONE EURO.
That's about a dollar-thirty, if you're interested. The only condition is that buyers agree to fix the houses up.
Future plans for the town include a "never-ending film festival," with as many as ten movies showing daily.
