Abandoned estates and villas in Europe and especially northern Italy. Living here in the States, growing up here, where we don't have structures hundreds of years old, so is hard to imagine historical, exquisite, simply majestic estates and villas that have been abandoned for decades just rotting away and being slowly reclaimed by nature. How wonderful they must have looked in the prime. The artistry, the detail of construction, the architecture, and the beautiful decor, abandoned and fading into history. I'd almost have to think that someone of wealth and means would restore them to their original grandeur and have a spectacular place to live. Filled with history and such beauty. Inconceivable that it would simply go to waste and be forgotten. Seems like such a waste.
