      @@janetfranklin2223 I wouldn’t let homeless people live there. They would trash it even more. Haven’t you seen how homeless people live? They trash everything. Every time I see a dirty homeless encampment I tell them just because you’re homeless doesn’t mean you can litter and trash your surroundings. Other people live around here. They have no respect for themselves or others.

      As I've said in many conversations when it has to do with a homeless people. There are hundreds of old world War II army camps that have been closed or partially closed. As you can imagine these camps recruited thousands upon thousands of young lads and if you knew anything about world War II it was huge. Each of these camps can house thousands of homeless people and can be ran as a town within themselves as a society.
      These army camps have everything that civilians enjoy in life. The only difference was you wore a uniform otherwise.....
      It's up to the politicians

    The wall paintings are great examples of "trompe l'oeil
    ," a visual illusion in art, especially as used to trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as a three-dimensional object. Beautiful old house. Thanks so much!

    Another extraordinary visit, Lesley - amazing! As always, very respectfully presented, thank you! A couple of observations, if it helps. The first floor is the owner's accommodation (the 'piano nobile' in Italian); the end room was a Study, not a bedroom, with the small day-bed for siestas - you can see all the faded marks on the walls where the pictures used to hang. The Ground floor rooms would have been used for entertaining family/guests, with direct garden access. Interesting to see St George & the Dragon carved in several places, along with the winged horse, Pegasus. Down in the kitchen area, the built-in cupboards with metal grilles were not for keeping oven-ready animals/birds in, they were to keep food fresh, cool, and free of flies.
    The main Bedrooms had single beds, quite normal: it gets hot in Italy! In the wardrobe cupboard - they were not umbrellas, they were 'parasols' (sun shades). The floor above were all children's rooms, with single beds and children's pictures & paintings.
    The document referring to 'banca' was from a now busted Italian bank linked to the Vatican. Interesting possible link to the family who owned this property, perhaps - maybe someone could do some research? Let's keep the story going . . . .

      Homes stay in the family names and stay in the family in Italy it's based on old Roman law! Now if the USA did this it eliminate homelessness because you always have a home to go to! Real estate laws are different there! Families lived longer in Italy Some people their homes have been in the family for hundreds of years some people get old and are the last ones like me I was born late and all the original family has passed away a long time ago So you find yourself alone ! So it's this way for a reason you always have a home to come to even though it maybe old and the land is there it's still your home !

    And your investigative skills in peeling back the layers of time, so we can have a peek into how their lives must have been! You are truly a gifted documentary film producer, and you should have your own television series! Although, that said, i would hate to have anyone try to change anything about how you work !
    One last note, when you made the comment about the dining room, and said they "...probably sat around the table and talked to each other about their day..." And i just thought about how different things are today! Most people have their mobile phones in their faces, (parents too), and NO ONE TALKS TO EACH OTHER ANYMORE ! Anyone else notice that too ?

    Wow, the antique bedroom set in that powder blue bedroom blew my socks off! How GORGEOUS! I live on the West Coast of the USA, where the oldest home in our state wasn't built until the mid 1800's. Antique sets are difficult to find here, and when you do, they usually cost over a thousand dollars. The carved intricacy and beauty of that set was outstanding, and I truly appreciate being able to see it, made my day! You and your associates do a fabulous job of presenting these places and you're efforts are truly appreciated. ❤️ Keep up your outstanding work!

      It's possible partly superstition when someone passed they left it the way it was when they passed usually the door gets locked up forever! Notice the older pictures of Family in the older side of the house? Still old Roman belief is still around pre Christan old religion especially in more southern areas My family Included ! Someone passed the next born child inherits the name !

My boyfriend's mom is from Sicily and she passed away three years ago they immediately locked the door of her bedroom nobody is allowed to go in there ever again it's based out of beliefs from old Roman times when they were into believing the old religions and superstitions it's like the person is still there in the house and my boyfriend and his sister still talk to their mother in the house like she's still there I wasn't raised this way in an Italian family this is mostly Southern beliefs but in some Northern Italians do believe it and practice it if you look where he's walking and you look on all the dressers and you see the old pictures those are old ants and uncles and Grandma and Grandpa's from the 1800s and they were living on that side of the house and they just never took care of it notice the difference between one side of the house where the lady was living and the older side were the older relatives were living big difference the pictures tell it all

      I will be very appreciative to find what my family may still have in the house and have a connection with my great-grandparents and my great-uncles and aunts I just hope what was supposed to be there is still there this is why it isn't going to go to waste and you shouldn't feel bad about it but I will be very appreciative and feel at home my ancestral home this is why it's important to not feel bad about all this wasting to the Italians it's their life everything they worked for if it rots it rots it's their choice but it's I hope that everything is the way it was left and the way my grandfather told me it was left and one of the biggest treasures that he said was there when he left is still there that's important that's part of family and that's why again nobody should feel bad or whatever they're feeling just because they'd like to have that furniture they have to understand that's not theirs in the first place and then it could mean something to somebody in that family that permanently owns that land by Italian law

    This house definitely used to belong a noble family , many guestrooms very rich furnished by good sets of furniture somewhere between 1860-1900 . And the part where people lived the last years that it was inhabited is already furnished in fifties and sixties with the typical style of hose years . So interesting! Thank you for your really breath taking explorings! Hope you´ll continue with that , and the most interesting is to see such big mensions and castles of some important families of the past time that were making our history, our culture that we have now and the architecture and design as well as their life habits . THANKS!

    I've watched 4 or 5 of your videos so far and this is the first place that actually has any STYLE as well as genuine craftsmanship. You might want to get hold of a furniture guide and learn some of the basic names of furniture - like the "settee" described as made out of "shares" which by now I KNOW you are aware are pronounced CH(AIRS). If you're going to do this repeat guided tour, repeating the same words and descriptions over and over with every house you visit, you may as well get it right. I love that you respect the property even in its abandoned state, and that you take precautions and watch where you step, and how you enter and leave. A shame that - as you pointed out, woodworm have already begun destroying what is there, and that what we are seeing will not remain in such good condition for much longer. Thanks, for the opportunity to see it before it disappears, forever.
