Abandoned Italian Renaissance Palace of a Royal Family - Many Belongings Left

[@fowlcamm]

That was a carpet beater not a fly swatter :) you used to hang the carpet on a line in the garden and beat it to get the dust out. Love your style and enthusiasm keep it up guys

[@Explomo]

Hey Ian Camm, we got a lot of comments about the carpet beater. Thanks a for the information this will be handy for our next explores :). Nice to hear you like our style we have some more beautiful locations coming up stay tuned!

[@chardonnay7523]

thank u

[@silvertears100]

that was not a fly killer was a carpet hitter it was used to hit carpets and rugs to beat the dust out of them another great video thanks

Hi, an Italian here. This is one of the 15th century palaces of a branch of the Gonzaga family. One of the most important families in northern Italy. They were at the head of Mantua. In the 1700s the dynasty died out and this rural court passed to various families. The last family was that of the Giovannini Donelli. They took possession of it in 1904 and lived there until the mid-60s. After that it became their holiday residence until it was no longer used for structural reasons and lack of money. Unfortunately, the family did nothing until the matriarch, Ines Giovannini Donelli, passed away in 2005 at the age of 108. The family then put the property up for sale. As you can imagine, it is worth millions and it is not a very easy building to sell given the renovations to be carried out. In 2008, the financial crisis was therefore even more difficult and in 2012 in the nearby province there was a major earthquake in Italy which also affected the court. IN OCTOBER 2020 THE RESTORATION WORKS HAVE STARTED AND THE COURT WILL RETURN TO ITS SPLENDOR. However, I must tell you that what you are doing is ILLEGAL and DANGEROUS you have entered a private property, a historical asset and moreover uninhabitable by the earthquake. All the wrong things you could have done you have done. And to you who see these videos I can tell you that we Italians care immensely for our cultural heritage but behind every image you see and for which you are indignant there is a very complex story.

[@ellieventrulli264]

Hi guys! Another great explore! The wall paintings are magnificent!! Love all the wood furnishings.... Love from America!

[@SueGirling68]

Hi guys, the item you said is for flies is actually to beat the dust out of rugs/small carpets. The picture at 23:56 was not of a battle it was of a horse race, I was born in Aylesbury where the picture is from, it is a town in the county of Buckinghamshire in the UK. Such a lovely old home full of interesting items, my favourite was that picture :). Thank you for sharing. xx

[@claireb4259]

Yes, it said "Steeplechase", so I thought it was obvious. I forget that these young men were born recently and haven't acquired a lot of historical or even present day knowledge of the world. When I watch them exploring it reminds me of toddlers discovering their environment.

[@welsh_dragon]

Beautiful place Remon and Maureno. I loved seeing all the old pictures and the decay there was beautiful, too. Excellent video.

[@janicehawkins6180]

Love being able to see the beautiful places. It opened up my world! Thank you...

Hey Dinah, the place was very good to explore nice to hear you liked it :). Take care :D

[@wendywilliams6493]

So glad to see you appreciate the history of these places!

[@jeffb3535]

Awesome explore! The bottle on the kitchen table is Chianti an Italian red table wine that would be used with daily meals and Italian food such as pasta. The refrigerator is an American made brand that was manufactured in America and most likely exported to Italy. In America people can buy new Frigidaire appliances at their local home improvement store.

[@sego6277]

Italy is full of this beautiful abondoned buildings. This morning came back from school trip from Venice and couple month ago I was also in Torino,and when we were driving we also saw a lot of abondoned houses and other buildings.

[@Explomo]

Hey Sego, nice that you went to Italy and saw a lot of abandoned places. You should definitely visit them.

[@sego6277]

[@anitateller718]

Thank you 😊 I enjoy watching you guys and love your accent.

[@joharmon2148]

Another great find guys. The old model train set must have been so much fun way back. The ballroom was huge and must have seen many grand parties. Thank you for sharing this fabulous find

[@scottywalden7636]

The wicker paddle you were swatting around is actually used for cleaning rugs,blankets or tapestries. The heavy article would be hung outside and the paddled used to beat the dust and dirt off. These were usually to large or heavy to actually wash.

[@NeonSoul777]

Another great exploration from you guys and I really appreciate how respectful you are to the former owners and their relics. Your passion for exploration keeps me eager for more.

[@alyking2801]

Amazing tour what a huge building how and why would you need to live in such large rooms this has been my favourate tour so far well done

[@Explomo]

Hey Aly King, the building is very huge this must have been a very wealthy and rich family for sure. Nice to hear you like this one as your personal favorite we have many more cool explores coming up so stay tuned!

[@ingenuity168]

You're not going to make your morning coffee. 😁👍🏻👍🏻 You both are doing excellent job!

[@EverestLeadershipTV1]

At 6:18, the item you thought was used to kill the flies was actually a tool to dust rugs with. Rugs have to be hung outside and the tool is used by hitting to get debris and dust out.

[@mariapalacios2825]

Once again you guys did a beautiful job at capturing the decaying beauty of the place. Another fantastic video! Will be waiting once again for the next one!

[@ChrisDragotta]

Mark Murphy It's not really a shame.

[@robertahubert7474]

I died laughing when he said that thing was to kill flies and the other one said I can’t imagine killing flies with that thing. OMG HOW BIG WERE THOSE FLIES. ??😂😂😂😂😂

[@foreverjoy9334]

We laughed so hard too, we love these guys, they are so lovely. It's funny that even the simple carpet beater is being forgotten and the young people don't know what this is now. Their youth is part of the charm in watching.

[@ElibelDublin]

@26.44 have the exact same well, group of houses and palm trees - but for my family they are part of a Christmas crib (presepio) set which has been in the family for decades and come out every year for the holidays. Crazy to see them popping up here. Sad to see these old places abandoned, sometimes the cause is litigation within the family, inheritance can take years to sort out if there are any kind of underlying issues, disagreements or unresolved debts. Stumbled across your videos, you are doing a great job, very respectful. Hope you can return to italy and do more.

[@TheDimocedric]

Great video! When we sorted out the cellar of our pub, we also found a fridge from the brand frigidaire from the 1950s. The brand was owned by General Motors from 1919 till 1979.

[@elizabethtorres6069]

🤣 This is a Carpet and Rug Beater. Before the invention of Hoover vacuum Cleaners, folks would hang the Rugs outside, and beat dust/dirt out of them. It worked..not for flies. 😁

[@noreenedge8951]

The 'fly killer'is a carpet beater.Mats ,rugs etc were hung up and stuck hard with the beater to clean.Great video.

[@Explomo]

Hey Noreen Edge, we got a lot of comments about that one yeah haha. Thanks a lot for the information we are taking it into our next explores :D

[@tatertott2390]

Really good timing !! Grewt video!

[@SRay-or3nc]

Oh wow, the huge dark turquoise kitchen cabinet was so nice! That would definitely be worth some money and was definitely a high price item when new. Did you notice it matched the table? My mom used to keep pots and pans in her old fridge. I have had a couple of these old refrigerators and I loved mine, but they were aggravating to defrost. I went out of town and did some exploring and I was late getting to watch this great video. May the joy of exploring always be with you! 😊

[@donnasfocus2050]

OMGosh why oh why is that place abandoned? Some of those items are so nice and looks very expensive. Thanks guys for the tour.

[@Explomo]

Donnasfocus, sometimes we ask ourselves the same question.. So sad to see that all their stuff is just being left. But thats what gives us the explore so good for one thing :p. nice to see you like our explores, stay tuned!

[@michellelindsay5727]

This structure was built well in its time. My favorite room was one that was painted with probably people from that time period. Simply wonderful and so ornate. I’m so impressed with history but saddened that these homes have deteriorated and will become rubble. We should all treat one another and the world better. 💕💕

[@dianegreen5980]

The “fly shatter” is a rug beater. Carpets were hung over a clothes line and they beat on them to remove dust/dirt. You are too cute!!

Pampas grass in the vase in the 70’s they were very popular decoration x

[@janettporter6795]

That thing you think may have killed flies, was actually used to hit rugs to get the dust and dirt out of them. They would hang the big rug over a close line and hit it to remove the dirt.

[@patriciamorton239]

At timestamp 24:49 that isn't a flyswatter, what it is is a tool to beat small carpets of small rugs with to beat out the dust and dirt.

[@kayxopretty6532]

believe it or not the best part for me in this video was the part where the well is..its a rare thing to find a well inside a place or a house they usually have it outside the house..😊😊 but then again another great videos from you guys😉👍🏻 keep safe and i hope you wont get tired of sharing good videos with us♥️♥️♥️

[@sharonmiller8132]

Yet another adventure but one that left you feeling different from room to room with the ever-changing styles from the bottom floor to the top floor. I wonder how many people lived there.

Hi Maureno and Remon, Explomo, Again a wonderful video from the winning team explomo! - I enjoyed watching your walk through that really big palace with these very high rooms. In one room there was such a beautiful chandelier and high up on the wall wonderful fresco. - And - yes back in the days, as you said so accurately, they did not have e-mail, whats up and so on for communicative purposes. But don't you probably agree, that they might even have had much more intelligent ways of communication by directly talking to each other or writing letters? - When I sometimes listen on my many train rides to these "conversations" people sometimes have with their smart phones, I have my doubts, if we as humans have really advanced so much in progress, when I am unwillingly forced to listen to these frequent sometimes stupid chats. - When looking at this amazing ballroom, I really think, it is a shame, that they can't preserve a place as amazing and historically interesting as this huge mansion still presents itself despite of the very evident traces of decay. - Great narration from both of you, and once more I liked how you two alternate with filming and narrating. - So stay safe and wishing you many more exciting explores. - Peace, blessings and kindest regards.

[@alinamez7281]

Love your videos. Slight correction. The “fly swat” is actually used to beat the sheets, the comforters, and drapes to clean them of dust and insects. Often used in spring cleaning.

[@veronicamensch3160]

I think many of those rooms and areas have been staged by previous explorers. Such as the table set in the kitchen area and the office, the lamp probably from another room would have been near a chair as a reading or sewing light, as with the vase of tall grass, normally would have been a decoration in a corner of a room or beside a tall window. I love your videos! Many explorers I can not watch because I end up with motion sickness, your videos I am bing watching! It as nice to see nothing had been trashed or graffitti anywhere.

[@pip5461]

I guess it might have something to do with the 40-50% death duties,which is why so many large properties are left to decay.

[@francesescola4691]

Actually it was a washstand, The outer metal ring around the top was for hanging a towel. The inner ring at the top would have held a basin. The flat round thing at the bottom would have held a container for the used water. I love learning by seeing these old items.

[@TheBlueNomad]

That wasn't for swatting flies, it was for for beating the mattress to kill off bed bugs and mites, then they'd hang the mattress over the window sill to air...
