Hi Lesley, I am Italian, and i live in Canada, we enjoyed your video, you asked questions about certain items. #1,the container on the wood stove that you said was for pasta, is really for heating water to be used for cooking. #2, the cabinets in the kitchen were not for live stock, but for storage of cheese, bread etc. . #3 The frames that looked like slays, are really bed warmers, that are put in the bed with a container of hot coal on the frame. Hope this was helpful to you. Keep those great videos coming. Stay safe.
I truly admire the Bros of Decay. You show a true appreciation and respect for these very amazing special places and objects. I love watching your production and exploring these magnificent places.
That's why I think these videos are so important. They serve as a type of documentation and preservation of history, giving a sense of daily life of the era.
There are people who have businesses that rescue architectural artifacts from buildings scheduled for destruction. I wonder if there is one where they rescue furniture.
Do other countries not have any types of Historical groups that preserve this history??? How can it be there are no heirs, organizations??? It’s sickening to see the beauty and craftsmanship that no longer exists being let decay. Sad😔
@@Ronkyort0dox !?! The guy does not live here, is not familiar with the lion then we need to give him a break. When I travel in other countries I do not catch all of the intricaties of the culture.
@@AdrienneS1970 When I arrived here I remember writing a review with a lot of enthusiasm and months after I realised that I was wrong with my assumption. It does happen. I am grateful that someone had the chance and the guys to enter where I would not enter. Have a good 2021 stay safe.
Those weren‘t „cages for living animals to be eaten“, how you imagined, that was the cheese riping cellar. Those People made their own cheese. To ripen, it got to be stored by possibly low temperature, that’s why the room layed a little bit downstairs. And the grit of those „cages“ should have kept any animals (flies and mice) away from that cheese.
Yes I’ve seen references to these type as cupboards before as to being used for animals. They’re not. My granny had cupboards like that where she stored fresh food, cheese etc before refrigerators.
I love how you show such reverence and respect for the history these mansions/castles have. Many young people don't care about anything but the latest music, drinking and getting "laid". You have earned my respect for your treatment of these abandoned museums. Thank you for the share of these wonderful, but kind of sad places most of us would never otherwise see.
Agreed. With a choice of the many Urbex channels...Bros are my favourite because of their appreciation and respect for the old, antique, art, architecture and people’s lives; past or present. Bravo Bros of Decay! ❤️🙏
The only people I ever meet while exploring are “people my age” .... I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone older unless they are with a tripod taking pictures of the sunset. We are the generation to clean up what’s been left behind. I’m not sure you’ve met anyone young lately. Cheers tho! we all are watching this video for the same reasons
Thank you for respecting the family and the material items left behind. There is a reverence for history in your videos. This is much better than having a feeling of intrusion and spying. Thank you.
Your videos capture such beauty and detail and yes, heartbreak too, your tender reverence for the history and memories of the families, sometimes long gone, is its own special gift. I often cry when watching your videos both because of the beauty you capture and because of sadness of loss of these impossibly gorgeous treasure places and artifacts.
Couples don't necessarily sleep in the same bed for different reasons ( arranged marriages, older age, illnesses, aristocratic heritage) . So 2 beds in a room doesn't mean children 🤷🏼♂️.
Yeah, twin beds for couples were popular 20s-60s because you could push them together, but when one moved on their mattress it didn't jostle and wake up the other one.
The three items on the floor @ 44'50" which you seem to call slats are vintage bed warmers funnily called "il prete" (singular, literally meaning "priest"). A hot brazier was put in its middle, and the whole thing laid under the blankets to warm the bed. I experienced these real life in the 1960s in my grandmother's house in northern Italy.
The crest at 5:28 is the Lion of St Mark and the words mean ‘May peace be with you’. Incredible place and that furniture really is something else. So sad that the former owners take clothes and personal items but not the photos. Stunning Lesley, thanks for sharing!!!
This home is absolutely beautiful!! It reminds me of Beauty and the Beast for some reason. I'm in awe of the furniture, it's completely stunning! I'm so in love with this house!!💜
Oh Wow..many many thanks for sharing this lovely piece of history. Surely I'm not the only viewer whose only opportunity to "visit" and "experience" how people in other parts of our world lived. You've shown us one of the best ways is exploring their homes; and imagining what their lives were like. Bless you, and Be safe!
Yes it is so very mice of you yo show these fantastic homes. I love them all . Thank you for showing them to us you are much appreciated . keep safe ,and God bless you.
This is the person on the Eugenics certificate on the wall: Victor Emmanuel II was King of Sardinia from 1849 until 17 March 1861, when he assumed the title of King of Italy and became the first king of a united Italy since the 6th century, a title he held until his death in 1878. So this was the home and family of the 1st King of Italy. Amazing. I really wish you took more time on the books, art and pictures etc, because that's where the real details and fascination lies, not just on walls and furniture. Edit: His great-grandson, the last king of Italy, Umberto II lived for 37 years in exile, in Cascais, on the Portuguese Riviera. He never set foot in his native land again; the 1948 constitution of the Italian Republic not only forbade amending the constitution to restore the monarchy, but until 2002 barred all male heirs to the defunct Italian throne from ever returning to Italian soil. (Well this explains everything being left behind). You have discovered a masterpiece of both mystery and history of unknown worth. Wow.
Thank you for your explanation about the owner of the mansion and his family. It's really nice to know the people who are living in abandoned houses and the lifestyle of the people living n there. Thank you for your information. Thanks Lesley.
This is what you should do. Take the best pictures of your explores, have them printed on photo paper, put them in fancy photo albums like those in this video, and put those in a safe place so they won't be lost even after RUclips is gone.
THIS PALACE COULD BE A WONDERFUL REGIONAL MUSEUM for the area of Venice.I WOULD GLADLY PAY THE TICKET PRICE TO BE GUIDED THRU THE PALACE BY A DOCENT WHO HAS STUDIED ABOUT THE TIME PERIOD-ART-FURNITURE-UPHOLSTRY AND 17TH CENTURY CONSTRUCTION OF THE PALACE. The family can donate it to the government.. Let the Regional area own it and use the money to keep it in good repair. It is a TREASURE
If ghosts and walls could talk... It's amazing to see all the furnishings are in such good condition, and there's no graffiti or damages from random people coming in and not respecting the property. In these kinds of grand estates, the basement and/or the upper most floors and/or rooms were usually reserved as servants the quarters, because the master of the house, his family, and his guests wouldn't have or been expected to climb the most flights of stairs. Just one more llttle note: wood furnishings are made from many different hard woods and veneers, not just oak, for example the large wardrobe closets in one of the bedrooms were a type of maple, and lastly some of the paintings were actually prints. I hope I'm being helpful, because this was a wonderful tour, thank you.
I am in aww of the beauty and how well this place is intact since it was abandoned so long ago. I wish the Italian Historical Society would renovate it. It is absolutely Devine!
Absolutely phenomenal place!!! Sooo grand & elegant! The wooden furniture in this place is priceless!!! From the epic ceilings to the leaded windows, what a epic, untouched place!!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful, gorgeous place! It was truly one of a kind & never to be seen again. Thank you for letting us experience this wonderful property with you, I loved it ❤️
Yes, the top floor would have been the servants' quarters. And I would say, in regards to the sketches you discovered at the end, that someone who lived in the house was a bit of an artist themselves. There was definitely evidence of a high appreciation of art throughout the manor. Thank you for sharing this wonderful opportunity to see such a breathtaking hidden gem!
I suspect the person was an art student. Some of the sketches look like traditional drawing exercises. I think some of the small paintings in the rooms may have been done by the same person, especially the portraits.
The term "water closet" ("WC") was an early term for an interior or exterior room with a flushing toilet in contrast with an earth closet usually outdoors and requiring periodic emptying as "night soil". Originally, the term "wash-down closet" was used. The term "water closet" was in use in England as early as 1853.
Dearest Lesley, this was my very favorite of your explorations yet! Love it and also your glasses! You are such a lovely man. Such a sweet old soul. Just darling. Keep exploring! We will be watching! Love from North Carolina, USA 🇺🇸
This palace has a very organic but presidential feeling. The brown colours, earths natural materials of strong metals and marble stones around the door arches and fireplaces and intricate designs make the objects in this palace look like strong tools that remind me of the bronze age. I also love the intricate design within the curved hanging symmetrical patterns like necklaces in roof plasters, cervices, chairs and arches so typical of the Ventian style. These intricate details seem to tell stories that keep the mind occupied. I would be a little scared of walking around in such a powerful place in the dark on my own. I have to applaud you Lesley. Thank you for taking us on this amazing and wonderful journey in the belly of this treasure. I love the toned down shadowy atmosphere you created throughout this video. It is very soothing to watch.
You are a very humble and gracious man Leslie. This is an amazing place. I really liked the corner knick knack shelf. The beautiful furniture just left there. Got kinda scared when you almost tripped. Be careful we don’t want to lose you, and of course, we love you too. Thank you for sharing this exquisite place with us. Until next time.
This place has brought me to tears. Absolutely Beautiful! Rich with tons of memories...the pictures, furniture, family crest and belongings left behind... time capsule. You can actually imagine the activity that took place in each room...Amazing and Wonderful! I Love it and all of its Beauty! Thank you so much! Peace and Love🦋
So far this is the finest example of a complete small palace that I have seen on Utub. What a head trip these rooms and there furniture are showing us in our todays world.
I always come back to you guys. You take the time, when you see beautiful things, you stop and pay attention to them. Your eyes are like our eyes. We depend on you. You’re not jerky or speedy. Your language is clean. Much appreciation from one of your fans! ❤️☺️ Great job!
Leslie is one of the best explorers out there. I watch alot of these videos, but no one tells a story, and brings the house back "alive" like he does. Appreciate all the effort and work that goes into these videos. Magical.
This is my favorite tour yet! My imagination is set reeling. Can you ever do a follow-up tour if and when these estates ever get purchased and perhaps are loved again?
Great material as always!! Someday you should write these adventures, at least in the format of short stories. Love the way you interprete the lives these families might have had.
Oh and may I say yeah for your mom still making photo albums with old school pictures. We could be friends. I still do this for my family so there is a physical footprint something you can touch when a loved one is gone. Hugs for your mom love that she does this. And she raised two lovely youngmen. 💗🙋♀️
Leslie you did a perfect job showing us, thank you! You don't go too fast but you don't take forever in one room either. You show us the detail and what's important, yet you don't last the while time on a couple of items or rooms and rush through the next parts or skip some. You walk us through as you go and I love it. You show us the set up or layout of the house. This video was great. The house is awesome. The antique furniture reminds me of ancient artifacts. Thank you! I, like you am amazed!
Another astonishing place! In the UK the National Trust restores these kinds of properties for future generations to visit. I believe those 'animal cages' were really in the cold area of the kitchen, before fridges were invented. Milk, cream, butter, cooked meats etc would be kept separately in each safe, which had mesh doors to keep flies away and let air circulate to keep the food cool and fresh. I enjoy watching your tours of abandoned properties, please keep safe and don't take risks.
Hi dear Lesley, bro and friend, What an absolutely amazing explore. - I am practically speechless, when I am watching this video. - I already loved your once more so poetical introduction to this location. - You never fail to amaze me again and again. - When I think, this is now the most interesting and amazing location, you are finding another one, and I nearly fall down from my chair when watching and hardly believing my eyes. How does this great guy always find such incredible locations all the time?! - Bravo, Lesley, bro, you are simply amazing! - I loved again your wonderful comment as well as your beautiful background music you chose for this video. - The breathtakingly beautiful furniture, the lots and lots of smaller items in these rooms, - and one room and the other and again wonderful ceilings and chandeliers and so on - and so on! - Simply fascinating! This whole place has also such an incredible historical atmosphere and should be preserved as a musem after my opinion. And - please, Lesley, my dear friend, don't apologize for your English, because you really are very very good in your choice of words and how you are expressing yourself, - really no need at all to be sorry of! - Absolutely great video, a real masterpiece from my favourite explorers Bros of Decay!!! - Wishing you all the best, stay safe and healthy! - Take care and sending greetings also to your adorable brother Jordy. - Blessings, peace and kindest regards.
Agree. I like his voice and his accent. I think it's cute :) He's exploring Europe. It would sound less authentic somehow if he had an overtrained, flat American sounding voice, anyway. The narration is at least 20% of what I love so much about this channel.
@@XenaBe25 I also like when Lesley presents by himself without cameraman or extra buddies. I want to concentrate on the mansion and his narrating voice 🥰
I truly dont have the words to Express my pleasure in watching your videos. Your command of language, history, curiosity with the utmost respect and caution with the mesmerizing tone of your voice is just STELLAR!!! Thank you and your brother from an old Grandma in Peru for do augmenting these vital bits of history that will soon be lost to time and the elements
What I love about you do is that you are so appreciative, kind and respectful to the places that you explore . you are very thorough in your investigations yet so gentle in the way that you explore! Thank you❣️🙏🏼
I truly enjoyed exploring this amazing palace. It was beautiful architecturally with many beautiful pieces of furniture. Loved the old cracked leather chairs as well as the upholstered furniture. What really surprised me about this place is the simplicity of the rooms ~ no wild wallpapers to detract from the architecture and furniture. I don't know how you do it Lesley, but you really do find very special places to show us. Thank you!
You can see how important a good roof is for any building. Once the roof starts to leak that is the beginning of a slow rotting away of the rest of the building. Just repairing the roof and keeping the foundation sound would preserve the entire building if the windows are sound.
That photo album is a wonderful visual history that can tell a story without words. I've never seen cages inside a place for live animals. Amazing find. This was one of your most amazing videos. Love you and your passion for what you do. Thank you.
@@sallyintucson yes, or perhaps cages for chickens to lay eggs in for breakfast, so folks would not raid your henhouse during WWII and steal your coveted chickens and breakfast eggs! The taller screened cabinet was to keep breads, pies and cakes in it, so the flies, bugs, and mice would not get to the food! This was in the days before aluminum foil and saran wrap folks, and critters were a problem even in a chateau or castle. They used to have round, domed metal 'screens' with a knob on top that you would place over a bowl of vegetables, or a platter of roast, etc, for the dining tables. Flies and gnats were always unwelcome guests! Have a great day!
So grand with intricate designs, real wood works. Such craftsmanship. Just gorgeous furniture. Everything. No words can describe. Thank you for passion.
You are great in showing the abandoned house and telling us how the family may have lived. It is always amazing to me that some old houses have never been vandalised or robbed. Love this. Thank You
I’m so happy to visit all these beautiful homes with you. But so sad to them falling apart. Makes you wonder what happened to the family ? It goes to show nothing lasts forever no matter how much money you have
What you called copper chandeliers are probably actually Brass this was a wonderful Explore.. beautiful house still don't understand why people would leave this to sit and rot makes me so sad.. love you guys 💞
Every morning I watch a Bros of Decay video while I have my coffee. This morning my coffee got cold because I was mezmerized with every turn of the camera! It truly looks like a museum. Untouched, grand, ornate, filled with so much history. Leslie, what an absolute treasure you have found! This is by far my favorite Bros of Decay video. Thank you!
This by far was my favourite video. Thank you. I may be a little bias since I’m Italian😊. I absolutely loved it. I’m so hooked on your videos! Thanks 🙏 again.
I have always wanted to ask Leslie if he sings (bass). His voice sounds like a person who sings. That is why his voice is so pleasant to listen to. I heard him humming in one video last year at a hotel or hospital they were exploring.
Beautiful place..aww the memories..I'd love to see the prime of its day...A. Person could take the furniture and even pictures and put it up for auction at a good auction house and retire... Some wonderful antiques..
I love ❤️ your tours. You are very special the way you present the tours. Love you include the history. It makes it so much more interesting. Yes, I’m hooked.
Thank you once again for sharing this beautiful history, I just want to touch every thing and feel what they had felt , so many years ago. Watching this with tears in my eyes, the European in me is bursting with love ❤️
The room off the kitchen with chest freezer and "cages" was where they would keep baked goods, breads, pastries etc... not animals. I doubt they kept animals in the house.
So very sad!! What beautiful stunning furniture.... shouldn’t be allowed to rot! Wish we could find out what happened to family. The game is drafts. Thankyou for showing us, when I heard the dogs barking thought oh no, your gonna have to run for it 🤣
Breathtaking! my favorite by far! my eyes stayed glued to the tv ..all the history and beautiful furniture .and all the art from famous artist that will never be seen ..our history just fading away
Sadly. If this were your private property, family, Would you find this charming? Or a violation of your home, your property, your family, your personal Life? Unreal that those in quarantine Have a crush. "Our little secret" I'm staying off here. Watch the history channel. Or BBC Realtor shows. I leave you all to explore/invade/trespass vicariously. Shocked no one finds a problem. And so Smitten by his voice, they want more. Alarming-. He wants to be a narrator for documentary. An actor. A voice over. The floor might collapse.
This is my favorite by far. So majestic. The furniture on the second floor is absolutely wonderful. All the wood! I enjoy your voice, so soothing, along with the background music. I enjoy your channel.

It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful palace left to decay like that. Another great video, Lesley! You always knock it out of the park.
I truly admire the Bros of Decay. You show a true appreciation and respect for these very amazing special places and objects. I love watching your production and exploring these magnificent places.
I think it’s criminal that these places and the items inside are not saved, as important part of history.
They are saved . They havent just walked off the street , someone let them in
That's why I think these videos are so important. They serve as a type of documentation and preservation of history, giving a sense of daily life of the era.
There are people who have businesses that rescue architectural artifacts from buildings scheduled for destruction. I wonder if there is one where they rescue furniture.
well, in Italia it's a mission impossible.

This house is one of my favorite homes. So elegant! Thank you.
The Lion on the bench is St. Mark's Lion and was the symbol ofthe serene republic of Venice or region of Veneto and the latin says "Peace be unto you"

Beautiful and calming. You are wise beyond your years. Your mother must be proud.
The craftsmanship of the wood, the photographs, the prints , everything about this beautiful home. Stunning ❤
In the past 30 years the italian craftmanship had been destroyed to conform Italy to european standards.

then I don't know what is.

This is my favorite so far, I've been a fan for couple of months, memorized, keeps me up over night ,Sunrise and I'm still watching,
This palace is so beautiful , the furniture were so amazing & still so intact hope they save this place it will be sad to let it go to waste
There's earthquake damage very costly to repair so they abondon the property to dangerous to live in
Earthquake damage to extensive
Would love to know the back story on this lovely home.

I also love the intricate design within the curved hanging symmetrical patterns like necklaces in roof plasters, cervices, chairs and arches so typical of the Ventian style. These intricate details seem to tell stories that keep the mind occupied. I would be a little scared of walking around in such a powerful place in the dark on my own. I have to applaud you Lesley. Thank you for taking us on this amazing and wonderful journey in the belly of this treasure. I love the toned down shadowy atmosphere you created throughout this video. It is very soothing to watch.
I love watching things live. I also love history...I always think of what it would be like in someone else’s shoes.
The first chair you showed is the most beautiful leather tooled work I have ever seen, thank you.
You are a very humble and gracious man Leslie. This is an amazing place. I really liked the corner knick knack shelf. The beautiful furniture just left there. Got kinda scared when you almost tripped. Be careful we don’t want to lose you, and of course, we love you too. Thank you for sharing this exquisite place with us. Until next time.
This place has brought me to tears. Absolutely Beautiful! Rich with tons of memories...the pictures, furniture, family crest and belongings left behind... time capsule. You can actually imagine the activity that took place in each room...Amazing and Wonderful! I Love it and all of its Beauty! Thank you so much! Peace and Love🦋
So far this is the finest example of a complete small palace that I have seen on Utub. What a head trip these rooms and there furniture are showing us in our todays world.
I always come back to you guys. You take the time, when you see beautiful things, you stop and pay attention to them. Your eyes are like our eyes. We depend on you. You’re not jerky or speedy. Your language is clean.
Much appreciation from one of your fans! ❤️☺️ Great job!
Leslie is one of the best explorers out there. I watch alot of these videos, but no one tells a story, and brings the house back "alive" like he does. Appreciate all the effort and work that goes into these videos. Magical.
This is my favorite tour yet! My imagination is set reeling. Can you ever do a follow-up tour if and when these estates ever get purchased and perhaps are loved again?
Great material as always!! Someday you should write these adventures, at least in the format of short stories. Love the way you interprete the lives these families might have had.
Oh and may I say yeah for your mom still making photo albums with old school pictures. We could be friends. I still do this for my family so there is a physical footprint something you can touch when a loved one is gone. Hugs for your mom love that she does this. And she raised two lovely youngmen. 💗🙋♀️
The most beautiful furniture of any place you have explored
I found this in google: It's meant to be read as Pax tibi Marce evangelista meus (May Peace be with you, Mark, my evangelist.
Leslie you did a perfect job showing us, thank you! You don't go too fast but you don't take forever in one room either. You show us the detail and what's important, yet you don't last the while time on a couple of items or rooms and rush through the next parts or skip some. You walk us through as you go and I love it. You show us the set up or layout of the house. This video was great. The house is awesome. The antique furniture reminds me of ancient artifacts. Thank you! I, like you am amazed!
Another astonishing place! In the UK the National Trust restores these kinds of properties for future generations to visit. I believe those 'animal cages' were really in the cold area of the kitchen, before fridges were invented. Milk, cream, butter, cooked meats etc would be kept separately in each safe, which had mesh doors to keep flies away and let air circulate to keep the food cool and fresh. I enjoy watching your tours of abandoned properties, please keep safe and don't take risks.
Hi dear Lesley, bro and friend, What an absolutely amazing explore. - I am practically speechless, when I am watching this video. -
I already loved your once more so poetical introduction to this location. - You never fail to amaze me again and again. - When I think,
this is now the most interesting and amazing location, you are finding another one, and I nearly fall down from my chair when watching
and hardly believing my eyes.
How does this great guy always find such incredible locations all the time?! - Bravo, Lesley, bro, you are simply amazing! - I loved again
your wonderful comment as well as your beautiful background music you chose for this video. - The breathtakingly beautiful furniture,
the lots and lots of smaller items in these rooms, - and one room and the other and again wonderful ceilings and chandeliers and
so on - and so on! - Simply fascinating!
This whole place has also such an incredible historical atmosphere and should be preserved as a musem after my opinion.
And - please, Lesley, my dear friend, don't apologize for your English, because you really are very very good in your choice of words
and how you are expressing yourself, - really no need at all to be sorry of! - Absolutely great video, a real masterpiece from my
favourite explorers Bros of Decay!!! - Wishing you all the best, stay safe and healthy! - Take care and sending greetings also to
your adorable brother Jordy. - Blessings, peace and kindest regards.
Agree. I like his voice and his accent. I think it's cute :) He's exploring Europe. It would sound less authentic somehow if he had an overtrained, flat American sounding voice, anyway. The narration is at least 20% of what I love so much about this channel.
@@XenaBe25 I also like when Lesley presents by himself without cameraman or extra buddies. I want to concentrate on the mansion and his narrating voice 🥰
What is your accent? Frenchman who learned English? I do love listening to you...
@carl jamora , No, he is not! - He is a Belgian from the Flanders part, where they also talk Dutch. - Kindest regards.
Hi Willy your so right ,they always amazes us ,I do love going around with them !happy Christmas to you all Ann uk
25:07 those embossed leather chairs are unique. Definitely not affordable today. Amazing.
I truly dont have the words to Express my pleasure in watching your videos.
Your command of language, history, curiosity with the utmost respect and caution with the mesmerizing tone of your voice is just STELLAR!!! Thank you and your brother from an old Grandma in Peru for do augmenting these vital bits of history that will soon be lost to time and the elements
What I love about you do is that you are so appreciative, kind and respectful to the places that you explore . you are very thorough in your investigations yet so gentle in the way that you explore! Thank you❣️🙏🏼
I truly enjoyed exploring this amazing palace. It was beautiful architecturally with many beautiful pieces of furniture. Loved the old cracked leather chairs as well as the upholstered furniture. What really surprised me about this place is the simplicity of the rooms ~ no wild wallpapers to detract from the architecture and furniture. I don't know how you do it Lesley, but you really do find very special places to show us. Thank you!
BEAUTIFUL "THANK YOU 💖💕MANY BLESSINGS "
Leslie, you did a really great job on this explore. I truly enjoyed it and this was one of the best. Thank you!
You can see how important a good roof is for any building. Once the roof starts to leak that is the beginning of a slow rotting away of the rest of the building. Just repairing the roof and keeping the foundation sound would preserve the entire building if the windows are sound.
That photo album is a wonderful visual history that can tell a story without words.
I've never seen cages inside a place for live animals. Amazing find.
This was one of your most amazing videos.
Love you and your passion for what you do. Thank you.
Think rabbit meat during WW II. It was very common.
@@sallyintucson yes, or perhaps cages for chickens to lay eggs in for breakfast, so folks would not raid your henhouse during WWII and steal your coveted chickens and breakfast eggs! The taller screened cabinet was to keep breads, pies and cakes in it, so the flies, bugs, and mice would not get to the food! This was in the days before aluminum foil and saran wrap folks, and critters were a problem even in a chateau or castle. They used to have round, domed metal 'screens' with a knob on top that you would place over a bowl of vegetables, or a platter of roast, etc, for the dining tables. Flies and gnats were always unwelcome guests! Have a great day!
@@sallyintucson Europeans still eat rabbit
As somebody mentioned before it was to keep cheese in- not live animals
@@huswest12 I’ve never tasted it but I’ll try almost anything once.
So grand with intricate designs, real wood works. Such craftsmanship. Just gorgeous furniture. Everything. No words can describe. Thank you for passion.
I would totally live there and renovate my self that beautiful house!!!! ❤️🥰❤️🥰😘
I love it just the way it is... but someone needs to fix the roof please!
That game on the table is a checkers set thank you for showing all of these beautiful places. What a shame they are just left to "die".
I believe it's called 'checkers' only in the US. Other countries have their own name for it.
You are great in showing the abandoned house and telling us how the family may have lived. It is always amazing to me that some old houses have never been vandalised or robbed. Love this. Thank You
I’m so happy to visit all these beautiful homes with you. But so sad to them falling apart. Makes you wonder what happened to the family ? It goes to show nothing lasts forever no matter how much money you have
Voltamos no tempo com essas belíssimas imagens 😍 estou encantada com cada detalhe, quão poderosos eram as pessoas que viveram ali!!!! Ótimo canal!!
That was the most stunning place of Italy. Thank you so much, God Bless!
Ahahaha you don't know Italy...
@@giorgiodifrancesco4590 ,exactly my thoughts 😁
This place is enchanting! Sad to see the beautiful furnishings left unused . Thank you for giving us a glimpse of this beauty!
I'm always amazed at the beauty and different styles of fireplaces in these old European homes.
Lesley your voice is so calming, I could listen to you all day, I'd call it mesmerizing
20:33 that was for to keep food , in times theres was no fridges. Scuse my english, im from argentina.
Also, root vegetables would keep a long time in those cool basement spaces.
Seu trabalho tem progredido muito, continue assim, voce é bom exemplo para outros jovens pesquisadores de aventuras do passado.
What you called copper chandeliers are probably actually Brass
this was a wonderful Explore.. beautiful house still don't understand why people would leave this to sit and rot makes me so sad..
love you guys 💞
Or bronze..
@@nicolethijs5428
Yes your right..
No, Copper corrodes 10x that of Brass or bronze.
Every morning I watch a Bros of Decay video while I have my coffee. This morning my coffee got cold because I was mezmerized with every turn of the camera! It truly looks like a museum. Untouched, grand, ornate, filled with so much history. Leslie, what an absolute treasure you have found! This is by far my favorite Bros of Decay video. Thank you!
Thank you for another beautiful video, It's very sad that it was left to decay,
This by far was my favourite video. Thank you. I may be a little bias since I’m Italian😊. I absolutely loved it. I’m so hooked on your videos! Thanks 🙏 again.
That is probably the most beautifully detailed explore you've ever done!!!😲💕
This is a grand dame of a house! It’s heartbreaking to see it empty but also love to the see history and beauty untouched by modern hands
I have always wanted to ask Leslie if he sings (bass). His voice sounds like a person who sings. That is why his voice is so pleasant to listen to. I heard him humming in one video last year at a hotel or hospital they were exploring.
One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in urbex channels for sure, I'm a huge fan of your videos, greetings from Brazil guys 🇧🇷
Beautiful place..aww the memories..I'd love to see the prime of its day...A. Person could take the furniture and even pictures and put it up for auction at a good auction house and retire... Some wonderful antiques..
I love ❤️ your tours. You are very special the way you present the tours. Love you include the history. It makes it so much more interesting. Yes, I’m hooked.
The best place you've guys ever visited so far. ❤️
Thank you once again for sharing this beautiful history, I just want to touch every thing and feel what they had felt , so many years ago. Watching this with tears in my eyes, the European in me is bursting with love ❤️
What beautiful furniture, thank you for great walk thru, so calm, Love u
This place should be a museum! Magnificent
His voice amazingly tells the story, but also very sexy. I love history this is awesome
Wow, if that’s a Carlo Francesco Nuvalone painting, it could be 17th Century and worth around £15,000!
The palace family is gone and we, survivors of the present, try to be ready to have the same end.
I agree....red pilled...something crazy is fixing to happen....I watch jon levi too...tartaria...
John 3:16 for God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son that whosoever believeth in him will not perish but have everlasting life!
The room off the kitchen with chest freezer and "cages" was where they would keep baked goods, breads, pastries etc... not animals. I doubt they kept animals in the house.
Stunning, absolutely stunning! Fantastic explore, Lesley!
I love how you give in depth information about the places you explore. You take your time and show everything.
So very sad!! What beautiful stunning furniture.... shouldn’t be allowed to rot! Wish we could find out what happened to family.
The game is drafts.
Thankyou for showing us, when I heard the dogs barking thought oh no, your gonna have to run for it 🤣
WOW..definitely one of the most beautiful abandoned places I've ever seen!♡ Thank you for sharing this with us♡ absolutely beautiful furniture & home.
Fantástico esse lugar!!! Dá uma vontade estar aí, explorando tudo com vocês...deve ser super emocionante 😘😘
มันลึกสับสวยงามและหดหู่กับการปล่อนทิ้งร้างอย่างไม่เห็นคุณค่า
Breathtaking! my favorite by far! my eyes stayed glued to the tv ..all the history and beautiful furniture .and all the art from famous artist that will never be seen ..our history just fading away
WoW ... your voice is absolutely gorgeous 😳
and his accent is adorable!
JZ
He's banking this whole trespassing
Venture
On his voice.
And it's working.
Sadly.
If this were your private property, family,
Would you find this charming?
Or a violation of your home, your property, your family, your personal Life?
Unreal that those in quarantine
Have a crush.
"Our little secret"
I'm staying off here.
Watch the history channel.
Or
BBC
Realtor shows.
I leave you all to explore/invade/trespass vicariously.
Shocked no one finds a problem.
And so
Smitten by his voice, they want more.
Alarming-.
He wants to be a narrator for documentary.
An actor.
A voice over.
The floor might collapse.
@@jenjem5810 extensive earthquake damage lots of homes been abandoned for that reason too costly to repair
This is my favorite by far. So majestic. The furniture on the second floor is absolutely wonderful. All the wood! I enjoy your voice, so soothing, along with the background music. I enjoy your channel.
