The world’s loneliest house, stuck on the side of a remote mountain range, had lain empty for 100 years — but its mystery remains.
Savvy Italian soldiers are said to have built the shelter as a place to rest while battling the Austro-Hungarians across the rugged terrain.

If I had to choose between that neighborhood and The Villages, FL, I think I would rather live in The Villages.

Will the dish and solar panels work behind ballistic glass?
From some of the photos, occasional falling rocks created a bit of damage.

Kind of thought it was the Sherpa quarters?

Well, clearly it needs a bit of roof repair?
Three bids, of course.

Get a Starlink dish, add a few solar panels, and I can work from there.
Drone pizza delivery might be nice.

I can see installing a beam with a block and tackle on the end. Suspend a basket from a rope...

I’m confused. On the one hand, they say it was built in world war 1. On the other hand they say the frame was put in by helicopter. Um... The two are mutually exclusive.

From the article: “The Auronzo section of Club Alpino Italiano — a group that oversees hiking trails in the area — seems to have been inspired by the unusual pad, as they built a contemporary shelter to rival this historical one.”
That’s the one whose frame was placed by helicopter. Completely different building.
