I watched a vid or two about this ghost village; saw some exposed building materials that appeared to be Roman-era terracotta (of course, that's merely IMHO). The unknown origin, plus its defensible location, makes it at least plausible that it had been lived in since ancient times, and even if not, an ancient structure (or earlier ghost town) was used as the source of building materials over the centuries. Alas, I can't find the video link with either a search or a look at the freakin' browser history.

If they want it, I’ll take it.

That is an awesome site. My wife and I took a transatlantic cruise last year, and spent a night (Easter) in Rome and a week in Venice. It was simply spectacular! I love Italy.
