ANCIENT TOWN THAT DISAPPEARED OVER NIGHT| 66,000 PEOPLE VANSIHED

[@jemmahill4369]

What a beautiful town. It breaks my heart to see kids toys left with no one to play with them x

[@josespiritus4011]

I would love a part two to this. This I what I'd go for in Italy. If there are some restaurants, a place to have tea and a few shops and I'm good. Could wander the paths every day, discovering a new part and just have tea overlooking that view. Amazing!! Thanks Dave!

[@SICILLIANMAMA]

My family came from a small town in Sicily ..Poggioreale.. it was destroyed also in a 6.5 earthquake in 1968. It's still abandoned. Thank you so much for taking the time to show this. It breaks my heart.. so much loss.

[@jo-annmacconnell278]

Interesting architecture. Don't know if I would trust a rebuild here though. Stay safe❣️

[@maxine-charliemaxcaulfield]

Dave you are one of the most genuine, caring guys ever! I could feel you're sadness seeing the little kids toys n books, to you all this is so personal. That's what I love about your channel! You always have respect for each and every place you go and make us, the viewer's, think about the people who lived in these homes. I loved this video and it would be great if you done a part 2. Thank you so much Dave & stay safe xx

[@kimberlyhlava9079]

Oh my gosh this was amazing!!!! The architecture is so beautiful, thank you for sharing this amazing place it's so beautiful but you feel the sadness there too...

[@Christine_J]

That place is amazing!! The ceilings, the walkways, staircases between the buildings, I love it all!

[@carlrowe3507]

Just from seeing these towns in your part of your country , makes me wonder how life was like for all the people that made those houses their homes . TY for showing them on your channel . I feel like I've been abroad and on an exploration into other people's lives .

[@janedoe6489]

Really a tragedy. How beautiful must this place have been😢. Imagine people meeting their neighbours, children' s laughter...thank you for taking us along❤ greetings from germany

[@gracekapea7983]

Imagine all the those many years ago walking on those paths with your donkey lugging your stuff. Another great explore 👌

[@KrisB5]

Love watching Steves videos and now have caught several of yalls videos that you've done together - love it!! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@ofthedifference]

Hello from across the pond David - thank you for showing us this city that now sits empty. Hey, while you are in Italy you really should visit the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum - they were both covered in ash in the year 79 when the volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted. Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. Pompeii had a water system throughout the town that was way ahead of it's time for the year 79. They had public baths that had hot water, cold water and a steam room - and there were public water fountains all over the town. This was discovered when archeologists started excavating the town. I'm sure you already know about Pompeii but if you don't, exploring it would be right up your alley! Please do a video if you go there. Thank you Dave, and I clicked on the thumbs up for this video (I've been subscribed to your channel for years). I would love to visit Italy. Please take good care of yourself, and see you in your next explore!

[@pine-earsal4311]

[@es1263]

Sad but Amazing explore Dave THANK YOU!!!

[@fallingspider]

A friend of mine just recently told me he was affected by this earthquake. It's amazing to see this town after learning about his story.

[@tammyasbury6517]

It probably is devastating for whole neighborhoods To just be gone,and have to relocate to somewhere else and know nobody there ,great explore,love seeing these places I'll never get there,nice scenery,all those mountains

[@hipoink1615]

Epic tour, once again!!!!

[@MarciaSalyer]

[@berylcroft5325]

So sad great video stay safe 😊xx

[@brendanstoran7555]

It’s strange the houses still intact were abandoned, some beautiful places, very sad that everyone had to leave their town

[@barbkeil-burton6894]

Hi Dave & Friends, Southern Italy in April 2009 when a 5.4 Earthquake came & Damaged So Much!! This was Most Interesting & So Much to See!! I think it would be Great for you & the team to go back & Make a Part 2 !! It`s So Good they are Trying to Save the Buildings!! I pray the People go back & Collect All Their Things!! Furniture, Pictures, Dishes, Beds & sheets, blankets, Kids Toys & Books, Clothes, etc... The church Was Awesome! The Bell is worth Lots of Money, & should be put back up!! The Chandeliers were Gorgeous & the Beautiful Ceilings & Piano`s!! I would of moved the 2 chairs & the 2 pictures of Family Members in a different room, since the ceiling is about to come down! Take care & You all stay Safe, Love You loads, from Barb from Central Illinois USA🥰😎✌❤

[@gailspaw5521]

God Bless U also for Sharing

[@rosannetickle6822]

I love your work so much. The compassion you feel for the people and the things that they had to leave behind is truly amazing. I could honestly feel your emotions through my screen. That to me is a sign of a great artist and who truly loves what he does. We all appreciate your hard work and dedication so much. Keep up the great work.🤗🧡🤗

[@daizeofgrace]

Would love a part 2. Read the history of this area and astounded the by its history and that the most recent structures said to be earthquake proof suffered the most damage. Unreal. Enjoy your adventures very much!

[@colleenjohnson7970]

Wow , so sad 😞 Thank you for all your videos and for your compassion. I really miss Marky with you.

[@joannewaterhouse183]

So so heartbreaking such a sad place but amazing at the same time bet it was a beautiful place at one time thank you for taking us all along with you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ x

[@TheShowgirl25]

Thank you for taking me here!!

[@marlenecarrero2015]

This was a fabulous video so many homes like the ghost town very interesting thank you

[@nigelstringerNVS]

That was great, please do a part 2.

[@cowgirlvillarreal]

❤❤ an amazing video ❤❤

[@lisaturner3130]

Part 2 would be fantastic. What a beautiful, sad village. So many beautiful buildings with such historic value. Thanks Dave x

[@deeT02]

Such a sad place, yet the church us stunning!

[@annieriksen2499]

I was just waiting for you to visit this village, first time I saw this village, there was only 3 family's starting over, to build the village up again, sad history ❤ I was really crying when I saw the church 😢

[@ruthbeck2050]

What a tragedy it is so crumbling. Bet it would have been a wonderful place to live. The scenery is beautiful. Thank you very much for a great video.

[@firemanfireman7228]

Thanks for sharing Fireman 🔥🔥🔥

[@marilynkornelsen5734]

Gorgeous village and church ⛪️ ❤️ ♥️ its sad about the earthquake 😢

[@jonimarchese7655]

Ciao Dave, this is just so terrible, it breaks my heart to see this. It's bad enough that these buildings are hundreds of years old, they are built into mountain sides, so they are double doomed when an earthquake hits. It's so hard to imagine, living through something like this. Thank you for your kind soul and compassion, looking forward to part two. Love from N.Y.

[@DebraParenti]

I would love to see part to my family is originally from Italy it's hard to see all this damage but I love the beautiful buildings

[@joangravel2436]

Awesome video thanks

[@andrewbush3744]

Looks exciting good video weard village I bet it's haunted 👽👽

[@warmlantern0000]

Beautiful Town. Ty and be careful .

[@hanlivoges4855]

Thanks for sharing the video with us. Nice to see places outside of South Africa even if it is through a video that was made by someone else. Thank you, love watching you all.

[@kriss3616]

Oh no this is Italy, my grandparents r from there, beautiful country!🥰

[@TheBluemoon1949]

Hi David, nice to see you again, my heart goes out to those people such devastation and loss. Some of those homes are so beautiful. God bless and take care.❤️🇨🇦

[@myrescuecats3028]

Another explorer did this it was magnificent that’s why I’m watching it again.😊

[@SlipSlidinAway]

Ts 37:38 "What we need to conquer is more interesting than the Gia Concuisina. " That's what above the 2nd door reads. I never could translate what was above the 1st door. The story behind Fossa is sad, on the other hand, what's left behind is fascinating!

[@diane6707]

Thanks for making these videos Dave!

[@aileenhaggarty681]

Beautiful place and houses. So sad. 🙏🏻👍❤️

[@keishamissy]

Thankyou for taking us on a tour of this town. It was so sad to see all the homes where people had to flee & the damage that was done. The church was so beautiful, I hope they can save it. It would be great to see Part 2. I love your enthusiasm for the places you go too & you show so much respect for the families & there homes. You are definitely the No.1 explorer with your passion & dedication for what you do. We need Mark back you two are so good together on the explores... I hope Holly is doing well, sending a big hug her way...much ❤ to you & your family...keep up the great work & stay safe...Greetings from Sydney, Australia 👋😀🥰😘

[@Gamingirl1232]

You look like nice guy ❤ Thank you for sharing that stuff even if it make me sad 😅

[@thestars386]

Most definitely yes for *part two,* what a wonderful place, it's a shame that that had to happen (earthquake). I would definitely have to say the *Church was the best part,* although *all of it was wonderful. Great video, thank you.*

[@charityhoward-cc6if]

Such an awesome explore

[@cindyj7506]

As you walk through the buildings, Im sitting wondering how someone that used to live there would feel if they saw the video. Can you imagine? I think I would be so emotional and excited to see my old home, lost in a disaster on KZbin. Thank you for the respectful, loving way you treat the situation ❤

[@adelarodriguez4029]

Still so much beauty side by side with destruction, the fear that all these people must of felt, my heart breaks, especially seeing the children's bicycles,toys and school work. Living through some aftershock of some earthquakes myself, but nothing like this brings back that feeling of dread and the horror this town experienced. Again another BEAUTIFUL and sad explore. Take good care, stay safe and thank you.❤💔✌️

[@essexxie]

where did the people go to?

[@loubowen6649]

Part 2 , you can do a full series there.

[@lindamartin9615]

Thank you for sharing, great exploration. But 😢the church was amazing .❤ So wish I could go overseas. My budget doesn't allow at this time.Beautiful city that old time feeling💕

[@carolhicks3242]

[@ladygray7092]

Thanks for all your hard work, bringing us videos. So sad to see

[@annieriksen2499]

Now I seen the hole video, I can see nothing happened with the church, nothing changed in 10 years, how disappointing 😢I will love to see a part 2, love this exploring/video, thanx ❤

[@user-uk6yz1my8h]

I want to take all the stuff animals and give them to the kids who had to let them go. They would b teens now. I can only imagine how they would feel, especially as they probably never went back. Even through the tragedy, you can see how beautiful this place was.

[@AnnasBurningCuriosity]

What an awesome Video

[@tewicurtis3773]

Part two please 😮

[@jeanhenderson1277]

Brilliant video and it looks like scavengers have been through the place 😢

[@ssranch6017]

Thank you sir I enjoyed that very much. I know some towns in Italy they are begging for foreigners to move there. Thank you for the video you're very good at what you do. Your friend from Stuttgart Arkansas USA

[@MckeeHerriott-iz8jl]

Feel sorry for everyone that it had died and come home after this earthquake, that town has probably been there since the twelfth century it was cool to watch that!!!

[@bionicnichola9251]

Defo need a part 2 Dave. I love the Italian churches, the detail, style and the craftmandhip is next to none.. perfect 👌🏻 i pray that family escaped, i was wanting you to open the suitcase on the bed in the little girls room. You really would think some would go back to collect precious items. It must have been so traumatic and then covid hit Italy really hard back in 2020/2021. Please go back. Thanks for sharing Dave 💫

[@karonrichards9370]

I love the way you take your time and don’t rush it ❤

[@BettyThompson-qn7cl]

Beautiful mountains

[@ann-mariehumphries8594]
