As for the translation of "paese" i'd say "town" this time, but do not forget: near Treviso in Veneto (north-east Italy) there is a "paese" called Paese

Surprisingly I'm reading on the Italian Wikipedia page about the village that the inhabitants actually considered their eviction as a positive thing, as due to a crisis in the agricultural sector farmers were already moving away, and they considered the resort as an opportunity to find work and to sell their products. It was a different era, I guess.

Italian here: "Paese" is commonly used to refer both as a small village/town, and as the country. It's all about context. Examples: - "In Italia ci sono tanti piccoli paesi" --> "In Italy there are many small villages/towns" - "L'Italia è il paese dove si mangia la miglior pizza del mondo" --> "Italy is the contry where you can eat the best pizza in the world" [sorry for the small patriotism insert lol]

@@marcocappa3738 The Lada Niva, is not a descendent from a Fiat 124, that's a Lada Riva. The Fiat 124 became the Lada 2101 and later the Lada Riva, although the "Riva" name was used only in UK and Ireland. The Lada 2110 is a completely different car, never sold in the UK, you still see a few in Hungary and former Yugoslavia but are rare in other EU countries. The Lada Niva, as you say a very strong 4x4 can still be seen in most countries in Europe although now very are of see a RHD example.

It's like saying "Oh Crespi D'Adda, never heard of it, but I know Lake Como". Same effect and feeling Thou, both have been signaled for years on platforms like Atlas Obscura and dozens and dozens of Urbex platforms too (definitely it's amongst the top 10 Urbex places in Italy), so maybe widen up your horizons

Still, I'm glad to see you were able to get out of the country to take these videos, although it's too bad your video camera was stolen. If you don't mind going back to France to make a video, might you consider the Armistice museum? As a train buff, I think you might want to see the most famous train carriage in all of France----even if it's a replica. Thanks!

WOAH! Toys R Us advert tune at 6:47... utterly wonderful Tim. I actually silently and subconsciously sang a few of the words. Something about Geoffrey and toys being all under one roof. Made my day that did.

If you enjoy ghost towns, you should definitely visit the Greek island Aegina. In the middle of the island you will find its deserted former capital, Paleochora. Nothing but ruins, except for about thirty perfectly intact tiny churches, all of which are apparently still in use, provided with holy water and icons. It's truly fascinating

I enjoyed this for way more than 2 reasons. Count Mario sounds like a really thoughtful chap, a real man of the people - it’s all about the people (heavy sarcasm for anyone that’s not sure). Apologies too..to any relatives of the Count...really. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us, with me. Thanks also for finding as many opportunities as you could to include the “squashing foot” image (now I’m wondering if the MP foot has a formal name or title.) Anyway, thanks again.🙂🐿

Woah! I nearly didn't click on your video Tim - I had not realised the thumbnail and description were one of yours amongst the KZbin hordes as I think I'd subconsciously got used to seeing you present in most of the thumbnails? But when I saw the thumbnail a few times I eventually noticed it had The Tim Traveller so it was then an immediate click! Thankyou as always for your great videos =) PS. sorry to hear about your bag and camera!
