Bingwa Thomas, a 72-year-old social activist from Kansas City, bought an affordable house in Latronico, Italy, with hopes of living longer due to the country's higher life expectancy. Inspired by Italy's slower-paced lifestyle and proximity to Africa for humanitarian work, he purchased the home for 8,000 euros and plans to renovate it, creating an arts center to revitalize the community. Thomas aims to contribute to local village life through cultural projects and eventually move to a larger property for his permanent residence, taking advantage of Italy's cheap house prices.
