STORY
We're venturing off the beaten path into the stunning Italian countryside, where a unique architectural wonder awaits.
This breathtaking villa stands out with its Japanese-inspired design, a fascinating anomaly in the Italian landscape. History buffs have dubbed it the "Japanese Villa," and with good reason!
The owners, Cristina and Alberto, were deeply passionate about Japanese culture. Their love for Japan is evident in every detail, from the stunning artwork to the way they decorated their home. They even expanded their family by adopting two children from Japan.
Rumors swirl about the current state of the villa and the reason for its abandonment. Some whispers suggest Alberto built his fortune in Japan through less-than-savory means.
Another theory claims the family fled Italy over a decade ago due to tax fraud, leaving everything behind. If Cristina and Alberto are still alive, they'd be in their sixties, with their children now in their late thirties or early forties.
The truth may be lost to time. Join us on a captivating journey as we delve into the abandoned villa, searching for clues about this intriguing family and the fascinating story they left behind.

Beautiful entrance and staircase. The wallpaper at 29:22 is flocked wallpaper, it has a raised velvety pattern on it. I'd say the top floor was probably reserved for service staff and their children because it's not likely that the lady of the house did the housework and cooking. Overall this is a wonderful house worth saving.

If the family fled the country due to tax fraud then I would assume the government would have seized their home and possessions and sold them at auction to pay the government what it was owed. I’m questioning if that was the real reason they left Italy.

@dianeknight4839 Ай бұрын

guys the pizza cutter is actually a herb chopper. Japanese design is all about clean lines and no cluttter, which is why it looks like Ikea. The Italian style furniture is very similar to the French. Those wooden perforated shutters on the windows are just like the ones on Japanese houses.

Hi Lesley & Danny, 😉 A Beautiful Abandoned Mansion in Italy, but Inside Done like Japan from 2014, Tax Fraud...Sad!! Was Nice of Danny to See Italy for the First Time, I Loved Seeing This One Too!!😍 If it`s Tax Fraud, the Family Don`t Own It Anymore...So Why Doesn`t the People Who Own Sell It? I Loved the 5 Chandeliers, Stairway, Cabinets..Especially @ 43:25 the Hand Painted Dresser, Cabinets, Chairs, Stained Glass, Decayed Piano, & Balcony!! 8 & Possibly 9 Beds, 2 Bathrooms @ 44:30 the Shower in the Tower!! Thanks Lesley for Narrating & Danny for Filming & also Your Comment on Things!!❤ Take Care & have a Safe Trip to your Next Journey!! ❤ Love Barb from Central Illinois USA❣

Honestly i adore you guys and watch most, if not all of your explorations , but i really wish that you would try a little bit to think logically when looking at things you’re not sure about. The table obviously was meant to be carved into like it was, you just had to look at the matching bench seats under the fabric the same texture was on those. I do enjoy seeing these stunning homes and hearing and wondering about their stories. 🇦🇺💗

Wonderful filming by Danny as always, and again I loved your conversations with him. And - also lovely background music, very well underlining the images of that fascinating location.

I jdon't understand how affluent people who encounter hard times will abandon so many valuable items. They must not have estate sales in Italy. Or people who salvage for a percentage. Or avid antique hunters. Crazy. Love your videos, tho. Thanks bros.

I really appreciate Danny's camera work after watching and viewing other urban explorers. His panning, taking time to slow down and show details, and smoothness when walking helps make for a pleasurable viewing experience. The background music was fitting as well in this episode. Leslie is always easy on the eyes and the camera loves him. I appreciate how you both are so kind and respectful to each other as well. Good job guys! I've been watching you for several years now and you are always consistent in your integrity and sincere, growing in knowledge and experience. God bless you both! It'd benefit you to study Art History and architecture. You might find work one day in an auction house like Sotheby's or study Real Estate Law and adverse possession. Have you considered it?

It's concerning that you're not wearing safety masks with so much exposure to toxic molds. Have either of you had any respiratory symptoms or health complications from exposure? Good to see you using gloves. I had black mold in the last place I rented and it affected both my pet and myself adversely.

1983年に総理になった中曽根康弘の書が飾ってあるので40年は経過していると思います。女の子のベッドには日本の香を封じた匂い袋が下がっています。寝る前の一時に日本の香りを嗅いで思い出にひたっていたのかもしれませんね。書は仲良くを示す和や清い心等が書かれた物が有りましたが脱税や逃げ出さないといけない所業の生き様が書とは解離していて情けないかぎりです。書事態もあまり価値、芸術性の有るものではないですね。日本のものが好きだったわりには残された物からは造詣の浅さが見えます。
