@Raycheetah Ciao Ray! :o) Yep, it's a pretty sad story... In the late '60s, an Italian entrepreneur came out with the idea to convert a traditional country town into a sort of modern "little Las Vegas" or "amusement town". The project failed for economic reasons while the work was in progress, so... the result is an unusual ghost town: a mix of old, "genuine", traditional abandoned buildings and modern, fake, "for-entertainment-purposes" even though "more abandoned" edifices!
It looks empty as Chernobyl! What happened there? It doesn't seem like it has been so long since people still lived there. ='[.]'=
