Where did they go? ~ Abandoned Mansion of a Wealthy Italian Family

Exploring abandoned places is my hobby and finance it all out of my own pocket and the donations I get from the people who love watching the documentaries we make... A small donation would be greatly appreciated! ► / brosofdecay
Around 2 centuries ago, the Italian Caleiro family started living and doing business in this area of the country. In the beginning, they were a simple farming family, eking out their existence on the land. This, however, changed over the years. As they ventured into other sectors of the farming business, their influence in the area grew, as did their wealth. In the year 1880, they decided to demolish their old small family home and build the grand estate we see today on the grounds with their own private church attached to it. They lived here in peace for over a century. The family was well-known around the area and, even though they remained farmers, they rubbed shoulders with the upperclassmen of the local society. But everything changed in 2015. By then, there were already only a few members of the family left behind, but for no apparent reason, the Caleiro mansion was completely abandoned. Nobody knows what happened to the family or why they left their grand estate behind. Today we are going to explore this mystery, relive the story of the Italian Caleiro family, and venture inside their forgotten mansion.

Very kind of you to clean up the place! It’s very sad how anyone could vandalize such a place!

[@brodiemyers3987]

Here in Canada that building would be completely destryoyed by vandals by now. I like this channel because people over in Europe seem to respect historical icons like these more than over here.

[@dmays8960]

I said the same thing about the US. That building would have been gutted out with everything and anything stolen here in the USA.

Hello there! My mother loves your videos and wanted me to let you know, those "sleds" are actually bed warmers! They would put those hot water bottles, or usually hot bricks/stones into the middle of them, and place them in the bed, then drape the blankets over them to heat everything up. Then, before sleep you'd remove it and hop in a toasty bed!

[@ramona_rami5643]

I love everything about Italy !!! This mansion is one of so many beautifully designed houses with their unique ceilings and artifacts; the chapel is splendid ,the M stands for Mary; So kind of you to clean up this place and show care and respect for all the places you explore!

[@debbieschultz9768]

The fact you gave the respect back to this beautiful home really touched my heart. The church was incredibly beautiful and the statues as well. ❤️

[@jennifersalazar3507]

I love it when you clean up the houses. If I was a ghost I would haunt my house for sure. How heartbreaking it would be to see people trash my house and not be able to ever put it back together again. What a blessing you are to respect the life people once filled their homes with!

[@kathleenbridge7626]

It is so sad when people have to vandalize places like this. Thank you for the kindness and care when you have cleaned up.

Lesley, thank you for your work! There are so few people left in this world who know how to dream and who have imagination. You are one of them. You help us see these abandoned places for real, as if we have moved in time. As if you have touched another era. I rest my soul watching your videos! They evoke a light sadness in me and awaken sublime feelings in me. Good luck and inspiration) Thank you for your wonderful creations. With love, from Ukraine!😘

The "M" on the ceiling of the chapel is for Mary, the Mother of Jesus. The statue shows her ascending into heaven. Above the altar are the words "St Marie Assunta" which is Latin for Saint Mary's Assumption. Keep up the good work. I love your videos!

[@soultribeinnerhealing6406]

I am SOOOO excited to find this channel… I love to have stumbled across others who can see the beauty in what once was & what could be. You are truly living The Dream, as heartbreaking as it is to see such degradation… what an amazing way to experience life well lived.

Hallow guys.I am so glad you brought this place to our attention again.Thank you so much for cleaning those rooms and letting us see how it should look.I hate vandals.They should be ashamed of themselves.There were so many beautiful things in that place that I can't understand why anyone would leave them behind.I am so proud of you for being so respectful of the memories of the house.Have fun here in America and as always, we love you too guys.Dag

[@jupitorious7925]

I have two properties in the Imperia region, one old stone house dating from the Roman era and an Apartment/village house. Love your videos and find your respect and love for the places you visit, simply fascinating. The vests in plastic covering would have come from the cleaner and most importantly the Women and Men often slept apart, and with the wealth and property, would of had separate rooms. Keep Posting thoroughly enjoyable viewing.

[@beckielloyd8321]

You are an amazing human.. I love how you go into a place and clean up what other idiots have destroyed.. It just kills me that people have no respect at all for these abandoned homes.. TY for being so respectful….

[@mirianfaccio2698]

I congratulate you big-hearted boys. It's really beautiful to see you organize these important places in history 👏👏👏👏

[@francopiccinino7489]

What looks like a sled but is not, was actually placed under the covers of the bed and placed a metal bowl with hot coals. the tuto to warm the bed in winter.

[@phantom_angel]

You cleaning up and trying to fix the place was so sweet. God Bless you and your team. I agree if u can't respect the property then don't bother coming in. Vandals just really piss me off.

[@ИринаБузунова-б6р]

Ребята, вы - молодцы! Обожаю такие места. Меня удивляют наследники. Почему они не продают мебель, не забирают в свой дом. Такая мебель радовала бы людей не одно десятилетие. А теперь всё стоит в плесени и разрушается. В России такое бы не допустили. Большинство людей у нас живут бедно, и на такую мебель из дерева нам никогда не накопить денег. Мебель у нас из спрессованных опилок. Спасибо,ребята. Процветания вашему каналу. 👍Россия.

Hello 👋 dear ,how are you doing?

[@ccl5141]

Leslie, im not sure if they give out awards to those that do this kind of research however, if they did.... you and your team deserve one. You do not just go into these houses for the sake of snooping around, you do your research and tell the story. I would not be brave enough to do what you do for a long period of time, going into places that are lost in time and not knowing if someone is hiding out somewhere inside. I will admit many many years ago a friend and I did go into a very very old farm house to snoop around... it was like stepping back in time. We walked around for a few minutes, went up the stairs and heard a noise that scared the heck out of us... to this day, I am not sure how we ran down the stairs so fast and out of the house...for a few years after that when we had to go by that house....We ran!!! The house no longer stands in the field,it was knocked down for fear of it falling down..

Normalmente, esos tipos de lugares son vandalizados constantemente... Es muy buena la obra que realizan ustedes al intentar colocar las cosas en su lugar. Desafortunadamente muchas personas se han convertido en potentes ladrones... Me parecería interesante que realizaran un video de cómo estaba un lugar la primera vez que ingresaron y compararla como se encuentra actualmente... Creo que en la mayoría de ellos, los humanos han acabado con la historia que encerraba sus muros... Eso es triste 😥.
