Who thought I'd manage to post an entire set!  :cool:  This huge cotton mill was operated by one of the most important Italian textile companies and was abandoned in 2002. There are actually very few details available on this particular site's history, as the company initially started production in a nearby city and gradually acquired new plants. 

Although some of the buildings have been damaged by the rain and by (more than one) fire and despite the easy entrance, several mannequins, spools, paintings, printed textile samples, original drawings and who knows what else are still there untouched - quite surprisingly if you ask me! 

I plan on going back there soon as a half-day exploration was barely enough to cover half of the buildings!

Thanks, Andy! Originality in the composition of my shots is what I feel I struggle with the most, so I appreciate your comment very much :)

Cheers for posting (y)

Thank you!! This is a rather popular location and I've been told foreign explorers regularly visit it, could be why these look familiar to you :)  and everybody has taken a picture of those abandoned computers lol
