ANCIENT TOWN THAT DISAPPEARED OVER NIGHT| 66,000 PEOPLE VANSIHED 

I would love a part two to this. This I what I'd go for in Italy. If there are some restaurants, a place to have tea and a few shops and I'm good. Could wander the paths every day, discovering a new part and just have tea overlooking that view. Amazing!! Thanks Dave!

That place is amazing!! The ceilings, the walkways, staircases between the buildings, I love it all!

Dave you are one of the most genuine, caring guys ever! I could feel you're sadness seeing the little kids toys n books, to you all this is so personal. That's what I love about your channel! You always have respect for each and every place you go and make us, the viewer's, think about the people who lived in these homes. I loved this video and it would be great if you done a part 2. Thank you so much Dave & stay safe xx

Really a tragedy. How beautiful must this place have been😢. Imagine people meeting their neighbours, children' s laughter...thank you for taking us along❤ greetings from germany

I can just smell the aroma in the air from everyone cooking good Italian foods everyday!❤️ Awesome video, thanks for sharing!

Just from seeing these towns in your part of your country , makes me wonder how life was like for all the people that made those houses their homes . TY for showing them on your channel . I feel like I've been abroad and on an exploration into other people's lives .

My family came from a small town in Sicily ..Poggioreale.. it was destroyed also in a 6.5 earthquake in 1968. It's still abandoned. Thank you so much for taking the time to show this. It breaks my heart.. so much loss.

A friend of mine just recently told me he was affected by this earthquake. It's amazing to see this town after learning about his story.

What a beautiful town. It breaks my heart to see kids toys left with no one to play with them x

Thank you for taking me here!!

Hi Dave & Friends, Southern Italy in April 2009 when a 5.4 Earthquake came & Damaged So Much!! This was Most Interesting & So Much to See!! I think it would be Great for you & the team to go back & Make a Part 2 !! It`s So Good they are Trying to Save the Buildings!! I pray the People go back & Collect All Their Things!! Furniture, Pictures, Dishes, Beds & sheets, blankets, Kids Toys & Books, Clothes, etc... The church Was Awesome! The Bell is worth Lots of Money, & should be put back up!! The Chandeliers were Gorgeous & the Beautiful Ceilings & Piano`s!! I would of moved the 2 chairs & the 2 pictures of Family Members in a different room, since the ceiling is about to come down! Take care & You all stay Safe, Love You loads, from Barb from Central Illinois USA🥰😎✌❤

Gracias por mostrar ese hermoso pueblo o comunidad, bello te queremos desde Argentina😍😍😍

I love your work so much. The compassion you feel for the people and the things that they had to leave behind is truly amazing. I could honestly feel your emotions through my screen. That to me is a sign of a great artist and who truly loves what he does. We all appreciate your hard work and dedication so much. Keep up the great work.🤗🧡🤗

I'm so envious, you get to record history and tell peoples stories! Love your compassion, and how you put things into perspective 💙

Wow , so sad 😞 Thank you for all your videos and for your compassion. I really miss Marky with you.

Thankyou for taking us on a tour of this town. It was so sad to see all the homes where people had to flee & the damage that was done. The church was so beautiful, I hope they can save it. It would be great to see Part 2. I love your enthusiasm for the places you go too & you show so much respect for the families & there homes. You are definitely the No.1 explorer with your passion & dedication for what you do. We need Mark back you two are so good together on the explores... I hope Holly is doing well, sending a big hug her way...much ❤ to you & your family...keep up the great work & stay safe...Greetings from Sydney, Australia 👋😀🥰😘

Thanks for making these videos Dave!

Still so much beauty side by side with destruction, the fear that all these people must of felt, my heart breaks, especially seeing the children's bicycles,toys and school work. Living through some aftershock of some earthquakes myself, but nothing like this brings back that feeling of dread and the horror this town experienced. Again another BEAUTIFUL and sad explore. Take good care, stay safe and thank you.❤💔✌️

Ciao Dave, this is just so terrible, it breaks my heart to see this. It's bad enough that these buildings are hundreds of years old, they are built into mountain sides, so they are double doomed when an earthquake hits. It's so hard to imagine, living through something like this. Thank you for your kind soul and compassion, looking forward to part two. Love from N.Y.

Surprised that so much stuff is still there though. Great video have a great day and a safe trip

Below is the worst quake I've been through and it was miles away. My hubby took off and left me and my daughter to get out of the swaying house 🙄 I grabbed her and carried her down the stairs under one arm. She was about 9 years old tall for her age and heavy. I held on to the bannister and ran as best I could. The stairs were moving under my feet I thought "this is it I'm going to die by falling into the cellar" We made it out into the front garden. Sarah said her feet never touched ground till we were outside . Surprisingly our 100+, wooden cottage had no damage. It was terrifying. I feel so badly for the people of that village. I hope they never have to suffer a quake again ❤❤ Interesting video but very sad. 😢💖 "Earthquake At 4:57 a.m. local time (11:57 UTC) on June 28, 1992, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake awoke much of Southern California. Though it turned out it was not the so-called "Big One" as many people would think, it was still a very strong earthquake. The shaking lasted for two to three minutes. Although this earthquake was much more powerful than the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the damage and loss of life were minimized by its location in the sparsely-populated Mojave Desert."

Incredibly beautiful city and church! Would love to see a part two!

So so heartbreaking such a sad place but amazing at the same time bet it was a beautiful place at one time thank you for taking us all along with you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ x

Hi David, nice to see you again, my heart goes out to those people such devastation and loss. Some of those homes are so beautiful. God bless and take care.❤️🇨🇦

Thanks for all your hard work, bringing us videos. So sad to see

Beautiful place and houses. So sad. 🙏🏻👍❤️

As you walk through the buildings, Im sitting wondering how someone that used to live there would feel if they saw the video. Can you imagine? I think I would be so emotional and excited to see my old home, lost in a disaster on RU-vid. Thank you for the respectful, loving way you treat the situation ❤

Such an awesome explore

Wow great video 👍dave really enjoyed this 👍 what an amazing place such a sad sorry though, glad u can still see it though, thanks for sharing 👍 look forward to seeing yr next video 👍💖

Another explorer did this it was magnificent that’s why I’m watching it again.😊

I've seen this church before. If I remember right it was built in the 1400's. Historic Preservationists in Italy are trying to save it with scapeling supports. Each of those niches with columns on each side had statues at one time.

So very respectful guys, thank you. New subscriber from Mauritius.

Thank you for sharing, great exploration. But 😢the church was amazing .❤ So wish I could go overseas. My budget doesn't allow at this time.Beautiful city that old time feeling💕

So many abandoned houses. You are onto something. So many unanswered questions about people who disappeared.

Now I seen the hole video, I can see nothing happened with the church, nothing changed in 10 years, how disappointing 😢I will love to see a part 2, love this exploring/video, thanx ❤

Defo need a part 2 Dave. I love the Italian churches, the detail, style and the craftmandhip is next to none.. perfect 👌🏻 i pray that family escaped, i was wanting you to open the suitcase on the bed in the little girls room. You really would think some would go back to collect precious items. It must have been so traumatic and then covid hit Italy really hard back in 2020/2021. Please go back. Thanks for sharing Dave 💫

Yes do a Part 2 - that church was over the top ! Bring Steve Ronin with you again!

Hi Dave I think you should do a part 2 of the video because I think that your video was really good it was 1 of the best video's that you ever done yet. 😎😆

Hello from across the pond David - thank you for showing us this city that now sits empty. Hey, while you are in Italy you really should visit the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum - they were both covered in ash in the year 79 when the volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted. Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. Pompeii had a water system throughout the town that was way ahead of it's time for the year 79. They had public baths that had hot water, cold water and a steam room - and there were public water fountains all over the town. This was discovered when archeologists started excavating the town. I'm sure you already know about Pompeii but if you don't, exploring it would be right up your alley! Please do a video if you go there. Thank you Dave, and I clicked on the thumbs up for this video (I've been subscribed to your channel for years). I would love to visit Italy. Please take good care of yourself, and see you in your next explore!

If the beauty of the church hasn’t brought you to your knees nothing will.

This looks awesome!

I love the way you take your time and don’t rush it ❤

Love this video please do a part 2❤

What happened here is horrible. It looks like like a cool place to live but so many earthquakes is scary. The views are amazing.

Great Explore of Fosso, Dave! How sad for the devastation caused by this earthquake. May those who passed rest in eternal peace. The church was breath taking. Definitely would live to see part II. There is so much to explore here you could be there for days! Thanks so much for all that you do.

Thank you sir I enjoyed that very much. I know some towns in Italy they are begging for foreigners to move there. Thank you for the video you're very good at what you do. Your friend from Stuttgart Arkansas USA

Very touching Dave, so sad, can't imagine the fear everyone felt 😔 the church, still very beautiful. You put your life in danger. Thank you so much for this explore x

I love this village! Thank you so much for sharing with us!! As always you are compassionate and respectful. Those were some beautiful homes! God Bless!

Even though all the damage was caused it's still a beautiful place and nature taking the land back such a sad tragedy 😢

This was a fabulous video so many homes like the ghost town very interesting thank you

Wow look at that view of the mountains ⛰ sad of what happened there i can only imagine the terrible experience that went on while all that went on ...................

It’s strange the houses still intact were abandoned, some beautiful places, very sad that everyone had to leave their town

Please part two would be wonderful to see.

Dave and boys please be careful out there you show us some great although sad explores that little girls room broke my heart those poor kids must have been terrified I hope the little girl and her family got out of their home safe 😢😢

Thank you for another excellent video. The video was interesting and informative. Love your channel ❤❤❤❤

This looks great 👀 The modern Pompeii? Without the bodies! Rich 🇬🇧

Wow wow wow. Thank you Dave. You help me through my day.

Beautiful video and that town was prosperous for the houses well constructed and beautiful adorned. The church OMG one of the best churches l have been seen.👍🏻👏

🙋‍♀Awesome!! Thanks!👍😊

I could not imagine the nightmare these families went thru on April 9th, 2009. ❤😢

I get excited when I see a new video❤❤ Yaaaaee🎉 Love your voice! Love your sweet kindness! Love you!!❤🇨🇦🏆

That's incredible!

Hi Dave, Steve and Radick, thank you for showing us this beautiful old village. That was scary seeing all the braces holding the homes walls up. The child's room with the big Mickey mouse and toys, it's a shame the children had to leave all their toys behind. The Church was gorgeous I hope they finish fixing it up and that light fixture is beautiful. I also love the house you went in after the church with the red spiral stairs and the untouched bathroom and furniture. The end of the video with the town play ground and and market, so sad. Thank you for this explore and I hope your having a good time in Japan, stay safe and take care.

Just wanted to say , Hi hope your Well .Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure with us. What was once a thriving community, is now a ghost town, so sad. ❤🍀🍀🦋🦋

Interesting architecture. Don't know if I would trust a rebuild here though. Stay safe❣️

We had a small earth quake in the Highlands this morning at about 2am.was just like a bang,we get them now and again with the Great Glen Faultline.😯

I would of lived to tour the ancient city that disappeared over night I’m glad no one came in and disturb the people s things I hope you can do a part two on the ancient city their apartment s looked real cozy and home inviting people ❤🙏😀a heart and prayer for the ancient city and the people

Wow! That was really interesting and quite sad. So much damage. This place is about 3hrs from where my Dad is from. Housing looks similar. 💗

God Bless U also for Sharing

That was great, please do a part 2.

I would love to see part 2

OMG the ceiling WOW❤

This is so heartbreaking what a beautiful place I could picture the locals going up and down those tiny steps and ginnels or just sat chilling outside of their villas on hot sunny days just going about their lives when one day everything changed its no longer their homes and lives and place to live it's now just a sad old ghost town

Awesome footage The Church was beautiful Just so very sad that happend homes destroyed families getting killed Glad to see them trying to rebuild. It would take months to explore the whole village All Take Care and Stay Safe I do have to say I do miss Mark exploring❤X

So sad great video stay safe 😊xx

Feel sorry for everyone that it had died and come home after this earthquake, that town has probably been there since the twelfth century it was cool to watch that!!!

I want to take all the stuff animals and give them to the kids who had to let them go. They would b teens now. I can only imagine how they would feel, especially as they probably never went back. Even through the tragedy, you can see how beautiful this place was.

Luv'd this video. Those poor people. Your entire existence ripped away. Having 2 flee 4 your life must've been awful. My life has been changed by several hurricanes but eventually I could get back to what I was used 2 It's very scary. Video & story well done as usual Glad to see Steve & Big Banks along with u. They r good story tellers also. Much luv to all Please stay safe

Beautiful mountains

I hope you do part 2. Thus was an amazing video. The church was beautiful. Breaks my heart to see all the damage. ❤ your reverence, as always very respectful.

I would love to see part to my family is originally from Italy it's hard to see all this damage but I love the beautiful buildings

Steve's turned into Data from the goonies heheehe that cracked me up, its so lovely to see you outside the UK Dave stay safe

Such a sad place, yet the church us stunning!

Imagine all the those many years ago walking on those paths with your donkey lugging your stuff. Another great explore 👌

Definately want to see part 2

Gorgeous village and church ⛪️ ❤️ ♥️ its sad about the earthquake 😢

Absolutely loved the video Dave loved the location and views keep up the good work feel sorry for the poor town and what happened stay safe from Australia 🇦🇺♥️👍📻📸👀❤️🤗

Wow so sad, that would have been a beautiful place to live, such a tragedy. Thanks for the share

This church was built XI century, 4 centuries after on its remain was built ‘gothic circense Benedictine church’ it is what you see today. Between 1264-1283 the altar was decorated by Gentile da Rocca.

Yes, part 2 please. I've seen this city and the devastation was awful.

❤❤ an amazing video ❤❤

Such major cities as San Francisco and Los Angeles California are equally prone to such violent earthquakes. Can anyone imagine the disaster that would occur in one of the major California cities if another major earthquake hit today, and such is not in anyway improbable.

awesome explore! I saw a video of another town like this, destroyed by an earth quake. They are trying to rebuild it too so for $1 you can buy a home but you have to fix it up within a certain time period.

So sad a city and homes are abandoned this reminds me of Chernobyl. Great video Dave would love to see a part 2, keep up the great work 🤘🏼❤️

so sad x please ne safe dave x

Thanks

This was a sad situation and so many lifes lost. The stuff they left behind dont make up for anyones life that was tooken by the earth quake..all the stuff can be replaced ,but not the life ..homes can be rebuilt and even towns ..but y'all done a great job recording the area .👍👍

Great place but sad poor people blessings to them xnanapollyx Scotland ☮️🙏🌟🌼🌌💐🌹

I love your videos

Fabulous.
