    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.

    ✨Hello Lesley , This is an Amazing Journey through time !
    Now my dreams have come true❣️
    My Mothers and my dream was to go and to see these magnificent estates and palaces .
    🌲⛲️🌳🏰🌳⛲️🌲
    ThankYou so much for documenting these beautiful jewels of history.
    When the people who are the warmth , the heart of every home , are gone , the home will begin its deterioration .
    🏇🌳 🏰🕸️🚪🌉🕸️🪑🛏️🕸️🕯️😢
    ThankYou again for capturing these memories , perhaps it is not important right now to the Heirs , but it may be very cherished by the many descendants later in the future . Many may be elsewhere in the world and do not know their Lineage. This is important to remember those who came before us , for some people.
    These video documentaries are a time stamp of the classical eras , the people and the tastes of the cultures from the past in Europe.
    My Truest Affection for you guys working on this adventure going back in time❣️
    Your Efforts in making these documentaries they are truly an amazing gift ❣️👏👏👏👏👏❤️🙏🏼God Bless You ,

    • @highlandergirl59
      @highlandergirl59 3 года назад +8

      it is also called a chess set as well over here in the USA and Canada it is called a chess set because it is for checkers and to play chess and is mostly called a chess set because it is not just checkers played on it but also chess pieces to play chess. Although you only see the checkers in this video there are also the chess pieces too one side of the board would be checkers stored and the other side the chess pieces. Lesley is right it is a chessboard and will always be called a chessboard and the reason I say that is because I am a chess player and a checker player.

    The property and contents are clearly valuable and the fact that they are abandoned is probably due to legal inheritance issues by people who do not need to realize their value or it would have been auctioned for back taxes or to make creditors whole. Was the property secured in any way and monitored? Why in such relatively good condition after 20 years? Was access gained legally?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      It is true that material things mean nothing where it really matters. So many people spend their whole life working for material gain. There IS a purpose for life that is much more valuable than any 'thing'. Our being here is not by chance.

      The lion is the simbol of the Ventian Republic. There is a column in San Marco square and it has a lion in top of it.
      The lion is the simbol of one of the four evaglists: San Marco which is the saint who protect the city of Venice.

    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.

    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.

    PS: The 17th century was the century that lasted from January 1, 1601, to December 31, 1700. It falls into the Early Modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French Grand Siècle dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis. The greatest military conflicts were the Thirty Years' War the Great Turkish War, Mughal-Safavid Wars (Mughal-Safavid War (1622-23), Mughal-Safavid War (1649-53)), Mughal-Maratha Wars, and the Dutch-Portuguese War. It was during this period also that European colonization of the Americas began in earnest, including the exploitation of the silver deposits, which resulted in bouts of inflation as wealth was drawn into Europe
