In this episode we explore an abandoned religious boarding school that appeared to have a focus on the arts. Sheet music, pieces of instruments, film, and religious documents were scattered throughout the building.

I read this as "school of dark arts" and thought you were exploring Hogwarts.
same!
Same
i thought it said dark arts too lol
364th like :D
Rofl I swear that's what the title said I thought they were joking
NEVER change your intro music it's perfect!!!!!
Same here
Right? I love these two. All the other urbexers will never be as great as these two men right here.
I've always loved it
@XBenGaming same
They tried to change it once before lets just say it never went down well .
It says "olio di oliva" on boxes where the bottles are. Thus, those have probably been bottles containing olive oil.
Or they just grabbed some spare boxes from a market to store all the extra wine...
I think I know why the school closed down. Everyone was drunk and they couldn't learn anything.
The wine is part of the sacrament
@@dorothymachado5027 Okay, 200 students plus staff---that's still a LOT of empty bottles! (How many days did they have Communion?) Edit: there must've been several hundred students, considering the number of beds---particularly in the infirmary...
@Bill Williams Both.
"The wine is part of the sacrament" - judging by the hundreds of bottles scattered throughout the building, there was a LOT of sacramenting going on
If that were true, every college in America would be closed
I love how professional you guys act while maintaining a healthy bromance, and how respectful you are to the locations. I'm an urbexer myself, and I always follow the code. "Leave only footprints, take only pictures." You see all this graffiti, disrespectful hooligans tagging places, and it makes me so angry. Thank you for being such paragons of what urbexing should be, and sharing your experiences with the world.
You have to love their enthusiasm and energy in exploring. I read a request from another explorer asking how he could get more people interested in his videos. He is alone in his adventures. I think that his filming needs work and his work could be better if he had a good collaborator. One thing this explorer has going for him is not using public bathroom explicatives.I think professionals
I also love the way they enter places with genuine curiosity for what the place used to be like and the people who used it.
I consider vandalism as part of the natural decay these structures go through. You know it's not cared for when there's graffiti on the walls.
Graffiti can be cool. I thought it was particularly charming in this one.
The true disrespectful people are the ones who leave the building there to rot.
The quality of video and the amount of research behind each location is night and day compared to other urban explorers. Always look forward to an upload from the proper people!
Lol.
@Danyal Yahya all for views. And it sucks. They are ruining it for people who enjoy this.
Like Kyle who always states he’s gonna do research but only does sometime.
@@GreenAppelPie Sometimes there just isn't any information.
Hey guys Josh here and we're exploring this great place....I don't really know much or anything about it, but lets go speculate endlessly and see ghosts and craziness everywhere we look, awesome!
Glad nobody defiled the main chapel. I'm not religious by any means, but it was a beautiful place.
Neither am I I'm just your average Christian
Take nothing but pictures
Leave nothing but footprints
And see nothing but beautiful shots
@FRIENDLY JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN its the urbex code
Also don't park right outside
@@freckleonmylumpsack6031 Well it's the Leave No Trace code, I just added the last line.
@@evanredacted7977 ahh okay i thought it was the actual thing. It sounded right lol.
Isn't the last line "break nothing but silence"
Always a good day when Proper People uploads a video.....
You guys always make the best videos
Urbex&Chill damn straight
Teachers + Italians + communion = The holy trinity of wine drinkers.
I have full blooded Italians in the family by marriage. Wine is served EVERY dinner, regardless of what is on the table. Lasagna? Wine. Chicken alfredo? Wine. Pizza? Wine. Grilled hamburgers or hotdogs? Wine, I kid you not.
The animals at 11:15 are symbols of the evangelists: the Lion stands for Mark, the Ox or Calf for Luke, the Angel or Man for Matthew and the Eagle for John.
haha i came down here to check the comments to see if anyone had pointed it out yet. nice!
AndroïdPrïest haha same
Ditto.
They are the four faced creatures from Ezekiel 1:4-12
What is the symbol for James?
You said, that it was a Christian boarding school, maybe the wine was used as a "blood of Christ" during religious ceremonies.
Damm, that is a lot of blood to drink....
They must've been like vampires or something like that.
communion wafer and red grape juice because again it's a school
@@eggthetalonflame1453 Catholic school, would definitely be wine. But Italy, so probably just for dinner?
All those bottles, I'm wondering if the school had its own winery. It IS Italy, and winemaking is an art too.
Maybe they were vampire christians...
"it's all moldy" you say as you pick it up with your bare hands
Imagine seeing that nun if you were in there when it was going dark.
hey guys! at 11:18 you ask if the animals have symbolic meaning and they do! each animal represents the writers of the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Matthew is a winged man, Mark is a winged lion, Luke is a winged ox and John is an eagle.
Source: i went to a Catholic school for 12 years
Thank you, I was wondering what those meant.
I will never understand why other people that visit abandoned places like this feel the need to destroy almost everything they see.
Yo dawg, I heard you like chapels with your chapels in your chapels.
Maybe they should have called it the Nesting Chapels School.
Just in case you committed sin inception
@@The-Average-Noob sinception
Bright Sun Films and Proper People uploading on the same day? Again?? This is incredible
Plus LGR for me too on the same day! This has been an insane day!
Yessss - it's a good Friday!
RNK post today as well.
What is this? A crossover episode?
(please)
@@djxmonster We are urbex junkies and need to get a good fix wherever we can.
I always question why you guys don’t have more subscribers. Your videos are amazing!
Only half a million ?
it's a very specific niche, and 600.000 subs is a lot. i have 300, how cool is that?
9:16 They aren't scared to go explore in abanodmed places but afraid of bugs and spiders.... :D
lol, they ever counter alot of cave crickets before. and they just running cause its creepy. the cave crickets jumping !!!
But...but the spiders were kinda cute
If there's one thing I've learned from all your videos, it's that Brian loves pushing buttons, switches, keyboards, and pianos 😆
I wish my school had a wine cellar.
Those were water bottles. Yes water came in glass bottles that look like wine.
@@H4CH I doubt pellegrino winery ever sold water but wines! The boxes says pellegrino marsala. If that's the case, I'd love to drink pellegrino marsala water daily! 😅
i wish my school had guns
Glass bottles for water are not uncommon in Italy
And fryit juices like apple and lemon and plums
Yep, but they are usually transparent.
Olive oil or wine commonly are on green or brown bottles.
Anyway, at 10.33 there is a box of olive oil, inside the room there are 2 flasks (in italian is "fiaschi", i don't know if flasks is the right translation) usually used for wine. On the box on the right there is the write "L'aranciatissima", orange juice and to the bottle on the left the written seems "Cantina" that is winery.
11:16 I'm pretty sure this is a reference to the vision of Ezekiel:
Ezekiel 1:5
Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. 6 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. ... 10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
Christian tradition also links this Tetramorph to the four Gospels: John being the Eagle, Luke the Ox, Mark the Lion and Matthew the Man.
@@elbavarden6084 yep! its really common in old illuminated manuscripts c:
dilbert627 I found this really interesting and think you are correct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetramorph O did some more research on this aswell and found this on wikipaedia.
Also randomly the four heads are also found on the corners on The World in the Tarot decks too, which is why is fascinated me when I read what you wrote as that’s where I knew these four faces were of the same description. So loosely linked even though Tarot is not religious per se.
Thanks for the Bible chapter info.
Ah yes, those good ol' Cherubim.
It's also in revelations. They sit next to the throne of God.
That is a theology college , not a school of arts, the quote on the wall proves this along with all the teaching of music
@Danyal Yahya Hence, the Gregorian chants, boys choirs,men's choirs, women's choirs,church choirs...
That also explains all the chapels.
A theology? What's that? Is it a church related school specific? I know I sound dumb sorry
@عبد الله Of course. Music’s central to Christian worship
@@arianethibodeau3743 Theology is basically the study of religion and beliefs, and is usually associated with Christianity
I watch a lot of urbex cos I'm too much of a wet noodle to do it my self and your channel is easily the best. Great job guys.
Judging by the kneeling rails on the pews, I'd say this was a Catholic school, which would explain all of the wine. Blood of Christ and all that.
Ohh that would explain it
Why was it closed down? The location is really nice and they seem to be well equipped. Also, the main chapel is lovely with the painted windows still intact
Either lack of attendance to due expensive fees OR something to do with new laws intrudeced in 1978 which endend institutions...
Boy was that a beautiful chapel. FYI: the animals you see in the stained glass windows symbolise the four evangelists. The Eagle is John, the Lion is Mark and the Ox is Luke. The child's face represents Matthew.
Those are the four faces of the Cherubim
The Eagle, Lion, Ox, and Man represent the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Very very common Christian imagery
Wonderful explore, some of the light coming into the classrooms was eerily beautiful. Great vid as always guys!
Would have been spectacular views out the classroom windows when the place was in use.
That church was gorgeous! At 9:54 there was another spider on the floor to the right that was probably having a face off with the one on the wall. Lol 😂 The big common dorm room with a ton of beds seems like what you would see in old movies where they all had to go to bed at a certain time each night and the nuns would make sure they were asleep. Cool find!
Maybe how monks would bottle and sell wine (among other goods) this school had a similar business to subsidize the school?
Those wide open dorms remind me of the ones I had to stay in for a band trip.. Even the bed frames are identical. It was hell.
All the beds squeaked with every movement so when you’re sharing a room with 20 people it becomes really hard to sleep. Then on top of that everyone got up at different times. I only had to deal with it for a couple nights so I can’t imagine going a whole school year like that ugh
It was in surprisingly good condition for being abandoned after 3+ decades.
Hi Proper People! I discovered your channel thru my brother, and I'm enjoy every video. I'm concerned for your health, and wish you would respirators, etc in more of your videos. So much mold, asbestos, and other nasties in the place you explore.
I'd love to know what the background music was in the big chapel
A lot of graffiti in English, I wouldn't have expected that in Italy
I went to a war museum about 6 years ago and it had parts of the Berlin wall on display. One side had quite a bit of English graffiti on it, saying stuff like "tear down the wall" and "freedom." It also had the German word for freedom a couple times.
"It's not staging, it's fixing something that was obviously vandalized." This quote embodies what I like so much about your channel. You are respectful of the past, and in your own way go about preserving our history rather than tear it down, like so many people. Keep doing what you do, 'cause love watching this channel.
I’m really happy I stumbled across your channel. I do urban exploring in Chattanooga Tennessee but do not put it on TH-cam yet. I have one that is underground Chattanooga that I did put up. It’s in the original building where the first Coca-Cola bottle was blown
what? M8 im from there! Dude!
4:48 Ordea, gelos = "However, [they were] jealous" in Basque.
11:17 - the stained glass windows were animal representations of the four gospel writers.
John - eagle, Luke - ox , Mark - lion, Matthew - man
5:46 holy shit thats a beautiful gym or anything.Look at that view.
6:50 I'm italian and I can confirm that! There is a great Facebook page named "luoghi abbandonati " in witch you can found great shoots of a lot of abandoned cool places!! Great video as always guys!
For only being open two decades... THat is a lot of empty bottles... And Okay this is bad because I don't believe what some people do in abandoned buildings but that nun-spray paint by
the stairs was kind of cool
Those 4 stained glass animal sybols are the sybols of the bible gosple writers; mathew, mark, luke, john.
I know this because I went to a catholic primary school that tried so hard to indoctrinate me into their damned cult, and failed. I now resent christianity, and all other religeons because of it.
I lived in a big open-room dorm like that in boot camp. It was definitely a weird experience.
This is really cool that you are saving history before it is gone Thank you for providing these videos Keep it up don't ever change
Heard it a million times. That intro music is just blissfully badass!
Very interesting example of 1960's architecture, but the portion of the wine cellar with the arched vaulted ceiling looked much older. The well designed formal interiors remind me a lot of the sanctuary in the church I go to, which was built in 1968.
Graffiti is so much more creative in Italy!
It's not that much more creative!
Graffiti is still just as effective at ruining everything. Hell, I've seen graffiti in South Korea, same freaking thing!
I know there's that big debate whether graffiti is art or not. However, I think if it's not your property you shouldn't be painting on it.
@@SRay-or3nc Property is for people, if a property is abandoned then the "owner" has, in my mind, given up the right to govern it's use. It falls back into the common, so if people without a "legitimate" way to express themselves find a new use for an abandoned space, I don't see the harm.
@@pyramidschema8668 I guess it depends on where the graffiti is going. I have seen some in abandoned malls and that seems an appropriate place. There are lots of wide open spaces, wall room and so forth.
This place is gorgeous.
It has some nice rooms and nice windows, but all those dorms and beds there not gorgeous. The feeling that bad things happened here overshadows any excitement I had for the video. Also,the f-bombs are distracting.
6:04 - i know Who is this person !!
He is Don Bosco my School was founded by him !! He spread his schools all over the world . (The Salesians ) For example in Portugal 🇵🇹,Brazil 🇧🇷, Italy 🇮🇹 etc..
We have a Don Bosco Center here in Kansas City
9:10 Those are just another species of "cave crickets" of the orthopteran family Rhaphidophoridae. Also known as camel crickets, spider crickets, etc.
Those stained glass windows are beautiful..
when they zoomed in on the picture hanging on the wall at 6:05 , it was an image of St. Don Bosco! my high school (Salesian College) was founded by the guy
Is it just me that can see someone walking in the back at 5:32 !!!
Crazy how such a big building was only in use for such a short time... Such a waste
It was all the wine in the place.
I think some very nasty evil things went on there and it needs to be razed to the ground.
Catholics get through a hell of a lot of wine
You wouldn't want those light switches, you'd blow the damn lights out flicking the things on and off so you could hear the click.
What do you mean why did they have so much wine for a school? It was religious.. so Church.. Wine... Blood..
Oh look, a spider. It's a big one!
Every Australian ever: That's cute.
😱😩
Never get tired of the Intro theme
Agreed
I would say about the wine it may be sacramental wine for Sunday service which I would assume they had. Based on the size of the school it seems like about the right amount to keep stocked.
"Dark School of Arts"
Was 100% expecting (and wishing) to see a witchcraft school.
I always do a jig in my chair when your intro music comes on 😆😆😆😆
What's this place called? I'd like to learn more about why they built something so impreesive, yet closed it so quickly.
So rad. I'd adore to explore places like this. That Nun mural at 4:52 is impressive.
I've watched a lot of your videos, but this is really one of the standouts to me. Maybe it's just the location. Loved the visuals of the chapels, especially the one with the stained glass windows.
Not reading through all the comments to see if someone said this but yes those are cave crickets also called camel crickets. They are like terminates to a bldg as they live for decay and rot.
The one guy sounds like chillz but his voice isn’t annoying like chillz.
I was triggered that when you put the bed back up, you had the head facing the wrong direction compared to the other two. Details boys! Hah.
In Revelations and in ezekiel there are depictions of creatures with four heads. The head of a bird, bull, lion and human. That's the symbolic meaning of those stained glass windows.
I see that the stage flooring was stolen. I guess someone got some nice flooring material for their home.😠
To be honest, I was afraid they were going to hurt the spider...
Samee I was like please don't hurt the spiders, they're such helpful and cute creatures
I feel so bad for these abandoned places but at the same time its good to see you people making these places alive again...Good luck
hey ive been subed a while now on my main account for about 3 years and ive just got my friend into watching you guys and me and him love urbexing so we made a channel any advice you could gives us for making a channel about it if so it would be greatly appreciated, also you guys are awesome and you are the ones that got me into urbexing keep up the great work.
Collegio Di Musica Saint Evelise
Music notation originated in Italy. All sheet music has Italian words to describe speed, loudness, etc..
It is even more evident when you sing in Italian. 😗
Awesome view of the main chapel. The music you used during that segment was very moving and beautiful! Thumbs up 👍 guys!
They came just to see insect and play with light switches. 😂
Shame to see a pipe organ like that go to waste.
Even though the spiders are only in the video, I still want to cry just looking at them.
4:53 that graffiti is amazing 0_0
Wine depicts the blood of Christ. That's why they had so much of it
Dylan petrovic that is correct.
I am so behind on their videos ;-; I need to binge watch.
NGL first read the title thought it was: "abandoned dark arts school"
Woo! Always love getting the notification about a new video. I've been watching a bunch of other urbex videos recently and I feel like all the others are amateurs compared to The Proper People.
They are. Everyone just hopped onto the urbex wagon for views. There aren't many genuine urbex channels anymore. It sucks.
There are other urban explorers that do a great job. Some just have a different style and you don't have to be in Europe to find great explores, not that there's anything wrong with Europe.
Having been in Europe, I'm surprised you didn't visit the catacombs in Paris
The animals are referring to saints I think or they are referring to entities vir (the man) Aquila (the bird) Leo (the lion) and bos (the bull) they are called tetromorphs I think and have symbolic meaning with Christianity
19:42 Oh gosh. I wish you had taken more sceneries!
"The click, it's so good" 😂😂😂😂
The painting on the wall as they walk up the stairs of the nun with the mask was amazing! Thank you for always being so respectful of the places you explore.
Great exploration there. Too bad it had a lot of vandalism to it. We're those crickets? I mean they were huge. Reminds me of the ones in that King Kong movie by Peter Jackson. LOL
Did y’all know you can buy push button switches for American use. Look it up on Amazon.
You need to remember that you are on a different continent when you try to identify creatures, though in the case of the cave cricket around 9:05 you were correct, that was incidentally an Italian Cave Cricket or Troglophilus andreinii.
I mean. I think nobody is really worried about a cricket. It's just a cricket.
LMAO You guys playing with the Rocker Switches....my son would go around the house doing the same thing....thanks for a quick fond memory. Your explorations are the very BEST🤗
still looks in good shape for being abandoned so long
Sounds like that infirmary needs to have a few windows broken or opened so that the air can circulate. Lol.
