    My uncle built that. As I was growing up I watched this being built. They (his wife was my Aunt and loved Italy as much) would travel often to Italy and bring home bits, as well as photographs of the buildings. It took ages to build, but was amazing to see as they were going up. That was a chicken coup, he was a chicken farmer for years.

    There's a real life size Italian village near my home town in North Wales its called Portmeirion its famous over the world and has been a filming site for some well known Movies, Its close to Porthmadog and just outside of Penrhyndeudraeth, You should visit theres a lot of nice places to see and do stuff in Portmeirion and Porthmadog area.

    I lived down the road there in my teens, magical place. Further up that path it Opens up to a clearing with the shell of a small village and a petite waterfall. Down in Corris village there is also a huge spooky church that looks abandoned. Menacing as fuck vibes form it. Would be amazing if you explored more of that area.
