The village of Riace faced issues such as a shortage of jobs, a declining population as many left to find work elsewhere, and empty houses. It was becoming a ghost town.

Riace faced a shortage of jobs in the 1990s which caused many inhabitants, especially young people, to leave the village to find work elsewhere. As a result, the only school closed and there were very few shops or restaurants left.

Domenico Lucano welcomed refugees into the village and provided them with food and accommodation in exchange for work. He created an organization called City of the Future to house and employ the refugees to renovate empty houses. This helped boost the local economy and population.
