Villa Minetta
Looking at the exterior of the villa, you expect something completely different than what the inside of the villa shows you. A huge entrance with imposing pillars and a beautiful hall. The richest man in Italy once had this built, after his death in 1905 the family paid off all the debts that were left […]
Oriental Gem
Each room of this large villa had a different story, with different murals on the walls and ceilings everywhere. I’ve never seen so many different ones together. There is an oriental theme in all the rooms I’m guessing 1 of the original inhabitants may have come from another continent. Judging by the number of rooms, […]
Troposcatter NATO Satellite
For these NATO satellites, we also had to climb a high mountain. Most of it we could drive and the last part we walked. We got up very early this morning because we wanted to see the sunset from the mountain top. This can be seen from the different colors of the sky in the […]
Jungle Pool
A swimming pool, which is a nice change between the castles and churches. This heavily neglected swimming pool was located in a sprawling residential area against a mountain. It was once covered, but all the glass was gone, so now it’s an open-air swimming pool. Probably no longer used in the past because the region […]
Ill Teatro Blu
Before we arrived at this beautiful theater we first walked past a villa that would also be empty for a longer period of time. We heard from the neighbors that it had recently been sold and the new residents had already pruned everything around the house and the house was completely closed off. We should […]
Green Factory
This was a large factory where really only this part was worth the effort. We know nothing more about this. What I do remember and will never forget are the nettle bushes that we had to go through to get here. It was completely filled with it, 3 heads bigger than we are.
Miniera Torgola
There are indications that this complex was put into operation around the 15th century. Until the middle of the 19th century, it was only iron that was mined. Sometime in the 19th century, the company switched from iron to fluorite mining. In the 1950s, the company underwent another major expansion, due to the enormous demand […]
La Villa Del Conte
Villa of the Count, this location we got last through an Italian. At that time we were busy with our road trip through Italy and he heard from us in which region we were, so he came up with this house. The villa is lonely on top of a hill and we left the car […]
Jezuïetenklooster
For a change, I once visited a location in my own country, the Netherlands. A huge monastery that has been empty for years and has changed hands about 3 times in recent years. We had arranged with a group of friends whom I all know through my hobby. We had permission from the owner through […]
Villa B.
HUSH.LITTLE.BABY.DON’T.YOU.CRY What I did last summer…? This house I wanted to visit for a while and last summer it finally happened. We got up early, rolled up our beds and got in the car. After a fresh morning walk we arrived at the house, it was even more beautiful than I thought. Each room was […]
