Now looking at this giant concrete monstrosity from the outside we thought "there's no way there can be anything nice inside" - but we were pleasantly surprised. This was a massive place, and it smelt absolutely disgusting inside. We spent a fair while in here and even longer shooting the bloody...

Carrying on with the Italy bits - this was an extremely beautiful we visited on our last day. It was a flying visit as we were kinda short on time, but it was nice to get it done. There were other parts to this abandoned monastery, but we focused on the chapel. It seems the vandals have just...

So this was on the home leg of my Italy tour, and one i'd definitely been looking forward to doing. We weren't able to do this early due to time constraints, so we went for it on a sunny afternoon. It's situated in the back part of a graveyard, and the lady in the flower shop conveniently placed...

The small church with an octagonal dome ceiling is part of an also abandoned mansion. It was built about 1900, unfortunately that's all I know about.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  

During my visit it was raining heavily. The old Italian villa was built about 1900 and is surrounded by a large park. Unfortunately I don't know who was the owner or when it was abandoned.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11  

 The castle was built by a disgruntled Count after an inheritance dispute on the turn of the 20th century didn't go their way. The Count employed an architect from Turin and lived  a lavish lifestyle for over 40 years until he passed away. A few years later the castle was left abandoned.    We...

Morning all :D   Recently returned from a trip to Italy and my backlog has just grown massively (so apologised in advance) but expect another spam of reports from me!   We had such a good trip - the derps are good, the pizza's are massive and the views are stunning! I was like a mosquito...

My first visit was last year in November Actually, I just wanted to show the Villa to a friend, so I left my tripod in the car. Looking back a stupid decision.... Of course, nevertheless I was taking pictures, and I also discovered a few rooms which I hadn't seen during my first visit. But...

An abandoned church near a farm somewhere in Italy.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11      

Inside the villa there is not much to see anymore, except a quite nice staircase and decay.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11  

The church was built in the late 19th century. Today it's a beautiful ruin.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20 (Panorama)   21   22   23    

Actually, we wanted to visit an abandoned church, but unfortunately, meanwhile the former entrance was sealed. But it's indeed - "When one door closes, another opens." ... Opposite to the church was this mansion, also abandoned, and fortunately accessible. Although empty, but with some nice...

Another belting location visited with Stussy on our mini Italy tour Cheers The Baron

Beautiful building in Italy Cheers The Baron

We drove past there on our last trip to Italy. So we stopped, to have a look inside. Of course "Teatro" isn't the real name. I've changed it on the sighn. ;) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

A former factory for sinks, toilet bowls and so on. Unfortunately I know nothing about its history.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15        

The former sanatorium for children with respiratory diseases was opened in 1937. During World War II, from the end of August 1944, it was used as a partisan hospital. Due to the arrival of German troops, the building was evacuated on November 29th.         + + +   1   2   3...

The majestic villa was built by a rich count in the 19th century. In recent decades, flooring, inventory, roof tiles and door frames were stolen.     1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17  ...
