Villa De Vecchi 2
Nestled in the mountains east of Lake Como, one can find this splendid and haunting baroque villa. Built in the mid 1800s, it has sat abandoned and rotting for years. I don't know the full history, but there are legends associated with it having to do with murder and suicide. There are many gorgeous and fascinating details remaining, both inside and out. I have enjoyed many, many, things in my nine trips to Italy, but seeing this ranks among the top few. It may have had something to do with the fact that I had it all to myself. Absolutely spectacular!
Currently there is some sort of petition drive intended to save the place, and it has gotten some press attention in Italy. But I fear these efforts are doomed.
