We really like that idea and thought about interviewing people who have some kind of relationship to the abandoned houses. But it's not as easy as you might think and the effort to produce such an episode would be immense. Maybe in the future
@@bwturbex just a suggestion, but why not just add someone to your team who is interested in genealogy? Maybe you could find a college student who could use their research for credit? I understand what you’re saying about the difficulty, especially when you’re traveling in different countries and who knows how the record’s were kept? I’ve worked in a field where I had to research families from the 1700’s to the present. I got my best information from Ancestry. You guys should have a tv show. Or be on National Geographic. Thanks so much for sharing your journeys for us housebound folks. ❤️
This group seems to be the most informed and tasteful of the myriad explorers. Their comments are educated and their choice of accompanying music with the visuals is careful and well done. Close-ups and slow panning without shifting perspectives is excellent. Thank you for this viewing.
Not only are the places they show incredible, the videos are even better, with the right length, well narrated, with information, the editing is great and how important the music is !! Great job always!
This is just so sad to imagine how this family was feeling at the end. One feels that they own their properties and in the end hey find out that their properties own them.
Stunning! It breaks my heart to see the ruin that these homes have come to. I am grateful that you use care and respect in documenting them for future generations. Thank you.
We didn’t find searching for information in big books tedious. Because as there was no alternative back then, no internet. It was normal for us. And we had patience doing it. I think the internet is a wonderful thing. But the patience we developed growing up/living in that era without it, has stayed with us. People from the past usually don’t expect instant gratification. As people do today.
Me too! I know I’m an old coot (1956) but I was terrified of the chamber pots under the beds. I’d rather die and run the gauntlet of really mean pecking chickens as I ran the outhouse next to the barn than poop or pee in chamber 17:45 pot under the bed. Knowing my grandmother, she’d have me me empty it. She scared the death out of me, never had indoor plumbing except in her kitchen. I was told that when she was moved to a ‘modern’ old folks home, she was kicked out for fighting and cheating at cards.
That was just incredible. Your photo work is super. Thanks for the distraction from this sad world we live in. Love you guys stay safe out there. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Things and places don't last that long here in the states. I mean if something here is 100 years old that's OLD!! In Europe, 100 years is NOTHING. When I was in Germany way back in the early 80's and on our trips some places and things were hundreds of years old!! Hard to wrap my head around the idea of centuries old.
Hands down the best urbex channel on youtube periodt. Netflix should let you make a documentary for real guyss!!! Gosh watching your videos is like an experience. Love them so much.🤩
You did not let us down. This is epic. Sad to see and know the memories will fade away after certain time. It’s matter of time. Too good team. Appreciate your hard work and dedication 👏🏼
So beautiful! Love seeing the still pictures of the rooms lit up. I dream of restoring a place like that. I always feel a sense of sadness that such treasures are forgotten. 😔 Keep up the great work. 🙂
What gorgeous old frescoes, rooms, ceilings, furniture. This place could've been magnificent at one time. Art, and such great examples of past culture. The accompanying music is spot on, as usual. A wonderful video. Thank you!
I am so glad you guys have each other to explore with. I think it makes for better videos. What one doesn't catch someone else will. Wonderful job! Keep exploring! 🤗🤗🤗
EXCELLENT ENDING TO AN AWESOME TOUR OF ITALY!! Congratulations to all of you that participated in this beautiful series. I can't believe it's over. Thank you for taking us along with you. Can't wait to see where we are going next!!!
I like how when you guys film the camera is not all shaky. I LOVE videos of tours of abandoned places because I feel like I’m in there too! However I can’t watch a lot of similar channels because when the camera is shaky it makes me feel car sick (if that makes sense, certain movies & home videos filmed that way do that too me also) but I am able to watch your videos entirely which I love & appreciate!
Rachel, thanks a lot for your kind comment! Yes, we know the issue that only 1% of the urbex videos out there is shot by professionals. We actually learned filmmaking, so we are happy to bring some nice urbex content to RU-vid!
@@bwturbex much appreciated you guys do an amazing job, from the locations to the storytelling! This is kind of random but I have a theory on those yellow & black capsules from the 80’s.. They could be “yellow jackets” which where speed/diet pills used back then, I could be wrong (and they could just be viagra lol) but it’s just a thought.
As well I enjoy the quiet team work, the group is organized with no shouting or talking over each other. Very professional work. Thanks I look forward to your videos.
Was für ein großartiges Video. Ich hatte die ganze Zeit über Gänsehaut! Es ist immer traurig, dass diese wunderschönen, geschichtsträchtigen Gebäude verlassen und dann erst oft nach Jahrzehnten wieder erforscht werden, wenn die alten Bewohner nicht mehr sind. Aber gleichzeitig so unfassbar faszinierend - vielen Dank dafür. Das war eine kleine Reise in eine andere Zeit, und ich weiß das sehr zu schätzen. Ich würde mich über eine Fortsetzung freuen! ♥
I do love the explorations of homes, manors and villas. What a great series this set on Italy has been. This one, the old old overgrown church, the abandoned villages. Wonderful. Gorgeous photography. Some great camp sites for you guys. For a crew who was seriously hampered by Covid, you’ve done very well bringing us explorations through it all. Thank you!
For a while I stopped watching these kind of documentaries/videos because it hurts and I feel so down watching, well I still do. But one realization is that no matter how the glory you have in this world, it will come to an end and nothing will be brought when you leave this world.
Loved this vid. Especially that you could answer the question on why it was abandoned and left to rot. Beautiful furniture and so sad that an old man died all alone in this once upon a time grand home. Two decades is not even that old but once abandoned, how quickly things decay. Life as we know it. Looking forward to more exploration videos.
There were so many treasures large and small in that beautiful villa. It’s sad when families waste time bickering over them and precious things rot away in the meantime. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful place with us.
It sucks when family dies, then you have family disputes of the next generation....which is crazy because Italians are always super close with one another. To see this reminds me of my family's house after my grandparents passed.
Great finale of the Italy series, BWT 👏 . The location (beatiful paintings on ceilings and walls, very expensive furniture, etc.) and the footage, especially the drone footage, are just amazing. See you in the next video. Many greetings from Northern Germany to Saxony :-)
It's all so very beautiful and sad ... You have to wonder. Who was the last family member to walk out that door? Maybe wandering around for a bit, remembering.. and then pausing to take one long last look behind before closing the door for the last time.
This was such an epic series from Italy. I loved the whole journey you guys took to bring such fascinating ruins and abando. This last video was such a stunning and beautiful place. Looking forward to another new series. Great job!! Thanks for bringing this discovery!! 😍🔥♥️♥️♥️
I was thinking the exact same thing. They had these for astronauts and earlier..for spies during the war incase they got caught. And of course Romeo and Juliet 😆
Yes, I don't think it is Viagra. To my knowledge Viagra has always been blue. Plus I don't think it was in general use in 1988. I think suicide tablets is a much more likely explanation.
The picture of the lady almost looked like a Drew Barrymore... Sad to see such amazing pieces were of grandeur but now being swollen by nature... Still always amazes me with your videos... Will wait for your next adventures... ❤️
Love the music in beginning...and piano in other videos of yours. Been watching and reading comments a couple hours now...your voices and films are so relaxing, and soul reaching. Good evening from Pennsylvania, USA.
Just a shame. Such a beautiful place still. Love all the furniture n frescos. You are so lucky to see all of this in person. But I do love looking over your shoulder. This Italy series is my favorite. Hope you are well. N hopefully got your covid vaccine. GB from Nevada.
Even though the pomp is fading you clearly can feel the luxury there! Our aim is to let our viewers feel the atmosphere of the place like we do. Thanks for watching and see you in the next episode :)
Fantastic video guys!! What a beautiful place. You'd never know from the exterior of this villa what treasure it held inside. Aside from the video and Toby's excellent still shots, I loved your choice of music that started at about minute 19:05. Gorgeous music! And lastly, I really enjoy your eloquent narration and the obvious reverence you show for this and all the sites you explore. Well done!
Seems so weird how the people who lived there just up and left and took NOTHING. They didnt just move out, they just left everything. Then again, I guess that's what gives it its mystery.
Amazing video. Not a lot of explorers explain how abandoned homes become such. Your dedication and careful exploring is the best I have seen. Thank you for showing us this.
You gentlemen are the best of all the explorers I have seen. Quality is superb and there's no guessing or making things up involved. And no annoying dramatic voice overs or haunted effects. Your video is a fine documentary and I can't wait to check out everything you have produced.
at min 15 you show a book with some phrases underlined. It talks about inehritance stuff and the underlined part is about the way debt are passing with inheritance...i found this interesting
Nice explore, again...thanks guys. Always look forward to your videos. I use to wonder how anyone could walk away from a home, and leave most everything. But recently, I kind of had to do something similar myself...just because it had to be. I understand more now. And actually, overall ,it made things easier . Peace guys✌️🤗
Some Catholic person in the older section of the house had a great devotion to Our Lady Of Lourdes. They had a little private altar and many bottles of holy water from there. It looks like they visited the site many times.
Olá. Sou do Brasil, São Paulo. Amo o trabalho de vocês. Tenho a curiosidade de saber se alguém, parentes ou proprietários dessas mansões, procuraram por vocês, para falarem sobre elas. Gosto muito dessas histórias. Por favor me respondam. Obrigada. Bom trabalho à todos!
Its bizarre to see that life changes every moment . This manor might have been full of life once, nobody would have imagined coming to an end this way. People who mostly construct a home are more emotionally attached to a place then their children.
S man beautiful antiques just left behind is almost heartbreaking. The family clearly had a rich lifestyle going on...something serious happened here, and it did not end well.. I am feeling that debt played a large part in what cost the family it’s home and belongings. Beautifully filmed and presented as always. Seeing these amazingly beautiful buildings left to rot is sad, but few people could maintain such a property in these days. I love the look of decay, and of Nature reclaiming what people can no longer hold and husband for the future. Beneath the decay we still see the careful workmanship of human hands and imaginations, who built with the idea that their masterpiece would remain a constant through time. Thank you for sharing this with us.🖤🇨🇦
It's nice to see that while you were definitely not the first urbexers to visit this place, there is no sign of vandalism. That's a rare thing to see unfortunately.
Another beautiful video. You guys do a wonderful job of taking only photos and leaving only footprints. I think you guys are some of the most respectful explorers out there. Keep up the great work.
I made my husbands grandmother write on the back of every photo in the box one day. She thought it was boring, but it was so useful when building our family tree.
It just breaks my heart that someone hasn't rescued, any of the the beautiful furniture, tiles, fireplace surround, corbels, , etc that might be able to be restored.
