ITALIAN MILLIONAIRES PALACE ABANDONED SINCE 1959!

Originally a castle belonging to the Vagnone family of Trofarello, it has been renovated just twice and was given its neoclassical facade in 1779.
It was once home to a Count who collected many works of art, filling the mansion with rare beauties.
The final resident was a painter who worked to restore it but in 1959 it was left empty and abandoned, meaning it’s been uninhabited without furnishings for 64 years now…
It’s now owned by an anonymous Swiss company and has been declared a national monument.

Glad it was declared a National Monument, but then for the government to neglect it breaks my heart. Thanks for another great tour!

[@Samandjessexplore]

Doesn’t add up does it! Hope it avoids any further damage or vandalism but sad to think its unlikely it will ever be properly taken care of 😢 Crazy to see these places left forgotten. Thank you for watching 🥰🙏🏼

[@lansesteiner3563]

Incredible. Why do vandals have to ruin everything? Why? Why? Why?

[@Polemodrome]

Jealous losers living on dumps and thinking they're taking a stance in life, smh

[@deniseroe5891]

I can’t imagine living in something like this and called it home. Would love to see what it was like before it was abandoned. So much time put into the details of the paintings. Those ceilings!!

[@lorirev2040]

I believe this is one of the best you've ever shown. What a shame it won't be restored. Love your channel!

[@Samandjessexplore]

So glad you enjoyed this place! It’s a special one for sure 😍 Always sad to see them going to ruin but thankful they’ve at least been documented. Pleasure to have you with us, thank you for watching 🥰🙏🏼❤️

[@gfraccal]

This villa is less than ten minutes by car from my home. I was there last summer and when I entered the main room I almost cried because it's so beautiful! Did you miss the church and the old kitchen?

[@Samandjessexplore]

Oh wow! What a beautiful place to live! 😍 I can see why, it’s absolutely incredible. We did!!! 😮 We ended up missing the wing on the side because we thought the police had arrived! Maybe we will revisit when we are next in Italy! 😄 Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼❤️

[@amybannister4021]

What a beautiful place. Such a shame it's been left to decay. The detail is truely amazing. Thanks for sharing ❤❤

[@eppityrrell8236]

Another beautiful place...for a national monument the gov should really start to look after it the water damage looks serious great to see you guys hope your feeling a lot better ✨🕊️☘️

[@priscillaa.8548]

Wow! This gives new meaning to "over the top". What beautiful architecture. You forget places like this exist, until you see these videos. And the views!

[@aminahparker8415]

I wish the layout was explained and the camera didn’t move so quickly without focusing on details. Amazing home! Thanks for exploring!

[@Samandjessexplore]

Will keep this in mind for next time! Maybe we will draw up a floor plan to show for the larger buildings, as I often think it would be nice to show that in the video too. Thank you for watching 🥰🙏🏼

[@robertabessey7990]

Wow, you guys went through that so fast. I'm surprised you didn't take more time on those gorgeous ceilings.

[@nannyofmany8315]

So looking forward to this. Hope you guys are feeling better. Much love 🤗💗💙🤗

Back to reality thankfully! Always good to have you in, sending both our love Nanny 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@user-cg3bk7fi3q]

What a stunningly beautiful building! The artistry is so lovely. Imagine having the talent to do that. If only we could go back in time to see it in its early glory. 💕

[@smithjessiem44]

I love all of the older homes/castles with the huge spacious rooms, the gorgeous staircases, the large kitchens. All the beauty of the furniture left behind, the architect that has been done in these places. Just amazing. Thank you for sharing your experiences with amazing places. Lots of love ❤️🌹❤️

[@davidn3394]

Wow what an amazing building.

[@lotusdolphin]

Sam and Jess, so good to see you again. This was a beautiful villa. Jess, I’m with you. I can only imagine what it was like when it was full of life and decorated paintings on the wall. Must’ve been magnificent. What a shame they’re letting it go. Sending🤟🏻💜🤟🏻 from Liz in CA

[@sandyalseth4550]

I know it takes a lot of searching to find the places you go to, not to mention the cost of traveling, but you 2 are so lucky to find and go through all these once gorgeous buildings!! I would look at all the rooms slowly and try to get the feeling of what could have happened there.😊

[@Samandjessexplore]

It’s always surprising just how many places are out there! We are very thankful to be able to visit them, even more thankful for you guys watching along 🥰 We spent some time just looking out the window towards the mountains in this place, so serene! Thank you for watching 🥰🙏🏼❤️

[@liacanio5948]

Me imagino ese palacio en todo su esplendor ha Sido muy bonito, esos techos y la altura y detalles de sus paredes, hermoso chicos. Saludos a ambos

I really enjoy watching you two explore you take us to some amazing places I get to travel through you 💖 The painting is this place are beautiful

[@bingusbingus776]

Nice place back in its day .Thanks Sam and Jess for another cool trip.❤❤✌️✌️

[@Negatron73]

Villa dichiarata Monumento Nazionale, dal valore inestimabile, abbandonata alla piu totale incuria. Un colpo al cuore vederla offesa in quel modo da visitatori senza il minimo rispetto, armati di bombolette spray. Cinque o sei anni fa non c'erano, chiaro che ora che l'urbex è di moda, la curiosità stuzzica anche le menti più idiote. Complimenti per il vostro video, curato e rispettoso di un luogo che meriterebbe molto di più.

[@lindamartin9615]

Hi Sam and Jessie Hope you are doing well. What a huge beautiful palace. Thank you for sharing, Love your channel.

Wow 😮 wholly freaking awesome 😎 how do you guys do it another awesome explore

[@teresachavez.a2zen]

WOW Colossal views! I can dream of living there!

[@user-yp6kn2uw4k]

I liked the vine at 10:20. At first I mistook it for a sculptural design of a window frame, and was amazed at the architect’s cool idea. Unfortunately, this turned out not to be the case. But in my mansion I would like to have a couple of rooms/halls with window frames, intertwined with vines and ivies. 🥳🤩😍

[@hollykeller1545]

The government should be required to board up the windows and doors if they declare a building valuable enough to be declared a national monument!!!

[@Bluerose888]

Boy, the work that was done to build this place. You would probably need more than a day to really explore this place.

[@ksrams21]

There has pictures of the place somewhere, I would imagine lots of parties here with the high society!

[@CrysteWare-hz8ch]

It's very sad that for this to be a national monument seems like they would restore it back to its original beauty

[@Jollyjilly58]

What a place and what a shame it’s been left

[@robertwilson822]

good stuff

[@miriam100ful]

well at least the millionaire owners had the sense to empty the property , and not leave any valuables there. Glad the place has been declared a National monument. I see the vandals had time to get to this place and deface it horribly.

[@beedevonlife]

This was one of my fav explores - does the place have a name?

[@hinarajpoot6812]

Can you please tell us some history of this house?

[@kristinechilds6035]

I have found in my 8 years of researching these places along with the huge castles that they belong to a civilization before us, our history is not what we’ve been told starting back in the 1800’s when Rothchilds and Rockefeller started our schooling. The past civilization was very intelligent and used technology with sacred geometry that kept the feeling of health and wellbeing in their building, they were taller that explains the high ceilings and doorways. And their digestive systems were different also which explains “The Big Stink” people now are calling it The Tartarian time period that we also were never told about but is in all Old Maps now due to Putin releasing them. None of these places had toilets when found and that’s what peaked my interest in finding out why, and also explains The Big Stink after the founders moved in. Your videos are excellent, thank u. The Bros of Decay’s earliest videos included many of these findings in Old Castles that were left completely untouched and furnished, but no toilets.😊

[@Samandjessexplore]

Yes! They have definitely erased knowledge! That’s fascinating that you have been researching into this and how there are clues to our past in these forgotten places. We have so much to relearn. I am going to delve into this more now, I appreciate your comment 🙏🏼 Pleasure to have you watching! ❤

[@monicayork6729]

Wow !!

[@pixidanberty5530]

It's impossible for me to imagine who lived there.

What a grand house.

[@nancyhebert9042]

I couldn't even begin to imagine living in a place that huge 😊

[@Samandjessexplore]

Agreed! I’d need a lot of housemates 😁

[@KeithWiggins-xc1sf]

what a shame ay .

[@carolechiacchio4866]

A priceless gem in sad decay. It should be on the he National Register in mint condition and open the r touts and events no National pride? Such a loss.

[@justineheinrichs2798]

Why declare it a historical monument and then ignore it? Wouldn’t you think that they could turn it into something useful? It’s massive and the architecture! What a shame to see it just left like that. Excellent explore though. Surprised you didn’t need a map in order not to get lost ❤🇨🇦

[@Samandjessexplore]

It makes no sense! Its horrible to see such amazing buildings go to waste, especially the vandalism 😢 Maybe the future will hold something for it… Thank you for watching 🥰❤️

[@franciscadominga2905]

Restaurar interior y exterior antes que empeore? En principio es trabajo para diferentes sectores y darle valor al lugar zonas ajardinadas, herrería, Edif Principal y del exterior. Mucho trabajo por hacer? Y en esas grandes zonas de espacios para vegetación se podría poner plantas de lavanda para generar empleo y contribuir a la recuperación del lugar económicamente de ser posible claro está?
