where are the most inexpensive places

I’m guessing you mean in terms of housing? In any case as a guide I would say the further South you look the cheaper it will be, but there will be exceptions.

thanks Steve, I thought it was but wasn't sure.Not too sure I'd like to go to far south. Of course I have only been in northern Italy near Milano.

We are not too far south and it is still cheap, there is also northern Tuscany where last I looked it was reasonable. Best have a look on some agent site like casa.it or even the UK Rightmove overseas section which covers all of Italy to get an idea of costs.

We live in central Tuscany in a village called Orciatico close to Voltera.  Very cheap propeties and very cheap to live

According to Rightmove.co.uk, UK's number one property website for properties for sale, Abruzzo is the least expensive region in Italy and in Europe for investments on property (Who is buying overseas property? Rightmove report).In Italy, Abruzzo is the least expensive area with property average prices around 61.735 Euro for houses and 89.175 Euro for apartments. While the average house price in Italy is 215.067 Euro for houses and 204.129 Euro for apartments.Font: Abruzzo, the cheapest place in Italy to buy property. 

An agent to avoid...

Well I personally would take it as a review to very wary of… 

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR ADVISE. KAY

I own a house in Calabria in a hill town named Santa Domencia Talao. My husband and I have owned it for 7 years now and are retiring soon. We have just purchased a buiding to renovate and turn into a BNB. I have helped several friends come over and look at property because very few of the houses in our village are listed on the property pages. Our vilage architect andf our mayor are very welcoming to Americans.  If you are interested in Southern Italy, Calabria is a graet place and very inexpensive. It has the best beaches on the planet and the best food as well. Let me know if you want help.  

Normally, the unwritten law is valid, according to which, the lower the purchase price, the lower the services and therefore the commercial attractiveness of the property -Abruzzo is a beautiful territory, however, if you exclude locations on the sea, the whole interior is suitable for people with a good spirit of autonomy, their own means of transport, perhaps lovers of peace - all over Italy, both countryside, that centers less than 200,000 inhabitants, suffers from this problem, public transport services are insufficient, or even missing. On the other hand, the quality of life will certainly be better than that which one can enjoy in medium-large sized cities.

I would say broadly speaking that very small towns are cheaper than larger towns and cities,  and water views are expensive no matter which water you are looking at.  If you can avoid owning a car, it will greatly reduce your living expenses.
