Ruins of Poggioreale - Belice valley, Trapani - Sicily, Italy | Drone aerial view
:^) I love the movie The Big Red One, there’s a scene where the soldier with family roots in Sicily says, “this is Siciily, it isn’t Italy” or something similar. :^)
Inside the abandoned Italian town where houses can sell for one euro
Poggioreale was abandoned in 1968 after an earthquake, but community leaders have plans to make the town into one of Europe’s most scenic vacation destinations.

I heard this mentioned by family there a loooong time ago.
I barely remember as I was a kid (born in 1968) and I certainly did not remember the name of the town.
I imagine this is the town they were talking about. Unless there’s more than one abandoned town in Sicily
Wow.
You put some great stuff up tonight :)
I like those steps.
