Exploring The Forgotten World

Abandoned Country Villa In Italy

For fifty years it tirelessly ripped through the countryside in search of coal. The machine has 10 buckets, each able to hold 1.5m3 of earth and rock (approx. 10 bath tubs).

Once owned by several generations of Italian nobility, as well as a famous painter. 

Built in the early 1600s

The villa is surrounded by beautiful gardens

Three floors high, the great entrance hall is elaborately embellished with frescoes and moulded plasterwork.

A Grand Entrance

A gorgeous spiral staircase with pink walls and black wrought-iron bannisters...

...adorned with a shell-like design that fans out from the top

Unoccupied Since The 1960s

Currently up for sale, without a price tag but with “private negotiation” on the table.
