A classroom of children from the Alpine hamlet of Mosso in Piedmont are trying to involve other Italian children to raise money in order to buy the uninhabited island of Budelli, between Sardinia and Corsica.
According to a Facebook page the students have set up for this mission, the crowdfunding campaign to buy Budelli and rename it Isola dei Ragazzi – or the Children’s Island will ensure the island remains “untouched and Italian”.
Their mission to raise €3m to purchase the island came after Michael Harte, a New Zealand banker, reportedly walked away from his own contentious €3m bid to buy the property.
