"The asylums in Italy are insane."
"Oh, man this place is mental."
Your statement is definitely an oxymoron. I like it!
Ligit mental
this is france
@@tweety6916 no it's in Italy i live close....
@@albertorosso490 then why is there french written on the walls ?
I always try to picture these places bustling with people and not so run down. If only walls could talk
If only padded walls could talk
@@CallMeMrX Well, to me they talk all the time...
@@tomacco3k D:
They might say some fucked up shit, it's an asylum.
@@ClayDress "Go crazy aaaahhh go stupid aaahhh"
No broken glass, no grafitti on the walls, this is not America.
normally america bashing seems to aggrivate me. but this case i do agree with you. most places stateside are painted all to hell and back
@@yamahonkawazuki Would you agree with the following US bashing statement "Land of the hamburger" ?
Osmosis They didn’t even actually invented it though. It’s a European thing
@@OsmosisHD named after Hamburg I think
how is "land of the hamburger" US bashing, that's a compliment my guy
Wonderful to see without graffiti and senseless damage. Beautiful building. Thanks for sharing. This has got to go down as one of your best finds.
I was your 100th like
you aint lying. Goes to show when your in a country of people that respect each others property.
these guys are truly epic
Ikr
Could be because locals know its history and don't want to mess with it. And it can also be protected by the state, so massive fines for vandalism. Government might even own the building, but they don't have the money or interest to keep it in tiptop shape (considering it's Italy, it doesn't see such harsh winters, so keeping the walls up is easy with minimal supervision). Pretty common in europe that some locations look untouched because of this, but the building next block can be full of grafitti if it's just regular old industrial building etc...
Italians even do decay beautifully, what a country.
this is france
Sounds like something a necrophile would say... Hmmm
@@tweety6916 this is Italy, it says it on the video
@Mauri Mela i travel there every year. Its the most beautiful spot on the planet.
Thanks a lot💕
I can tell you what that wood tilt table you saw in the hallway is for. It's for testing blood pressure. They still use them. It's how they diagnosed one of the blood pressure problems I have. They place you on the table and have you laying down and take your blood pressure. Then they tilt you down till you're in a standing position. Then they take your blood pressure and monitor your heart rate. In a normal person, the veins in the legs will constrict and the heart will beat harder to counteract gravity. But some people have an issue where the blood will start pooling in the legs and they will start to get dizzy and will pass out after a while. That's what the tilt table test looks for.
Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated!
Orthostatic hypotension people unite
@@sioux4358 Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia sufferer here. Haha! I suffered that tilt table test.
BlackburnBigdragon hello fellow Potsie!🦓
I have dysautonomia as well! Compression stockings &gatorade going over here. I pass out 6-7 times a week :(
That cart with Crosses on it, was used to carry Coffins!! It's not a Microscope, it's a Microfiche. I noticed in the x-ray lab that there was a Milk Shake Maker.
I noticed that too, maybe for mixing barium or some other radio opaque dye.
Those mixers are also used for mixing alginate for dental impressions or plaster for casts.
Surprised to see so little vandalism, it definitely makes the architecture stand out even more.
I didn't see any vandalism at all. Just natural decay.
Makeshift Mickey it’s called respect...not many Americans have it.
nikeeweston Haha America bad am i right?!?
I can feel your ignorance through the screen.
The light in this place is stunning.
When the sun shines through the ivy on the windows and the semi-opaque glass, it causes that kind of lighting effect. I love it too. I frosted the glass and planted ivy all around my leatherworking shop's windows. Its such a peaceful, charming glow
I really enjoy how you both represent these abandoned locations. There is not too much fake excitement or too much music. This really makes me feel like I'm there. Love this channel!
I agree. Super organic walkthroughs that aren’t over the top. Just enough footage of what matters and their modest input on what they are seeing/experiencing. I would spend hours looking at the old books and records. But I reckon that might make boring and slow footage
Radiation symbol was for isotope 147 of Promethium which has a half-life of 2.62 years and emits beta particles.
Will be around 0.000012% remaining since 1996. The rest will have decayed into Samarium 147 which emits alpha particles very slowly and is pretty safe.
Even if it were brand new it would be pretty safe unless you dismantled the equipment and exposed the Promethium.
Ben - Do you know what that machine was used for?
not really, but it's highly likely to be x-ray related.
Thx
Ha. Nerd.
( in all honesty that's pretty interesting tho )
I love Intelligent people
I got heaps of goosebumps at the discovery of WWII-era propaganda in the basement; that's incredible.
That was pre WWII-era bro. It said 1934.
Yeah, as he was reading it you could just feel the crazy mindset of the people. Amazing how chilled out (most) of the world has become since then.
Stfu
When?
@@kmsprinzeugen1304 I agree dude
The device in the gynecological room with the mobile arms with disks on the tops is a short-wave diathermy device used for heat treatments. The disks would be placed a few inches from bare skin at opposite ends of an area being treated, and the tissues would be vibrated by the high-frequency current, similar to microwaves, generating intense heat. This was one of the few kinds of "elecrtotherapy" that didn't hurt at least somewhat, and one of the most useful. Companies like Leibel-Flarsheim produced these well into the 1970s. That looks like a relatively new one; older ones tended to have big, bulky electrodes.
How do you know this? I'm so fucking curious and impressed, I tried to do as much digging as I could but the only thing I found out is that it uses Promethium 147 which is often used in nuclear batteries and could possibly be used for xrays.
@@mattikro I've collected old electrotherapy devices for a long time, though I've sold all but a few Violet Ray machines now. This machine wouldn't contain anything radioactive at all; it generates electric currents similar to microwaves through its two electrodes (or, other types of electrodes that lay directly on the patient could be plugged in). The only medical devices which contain radioactive elements are radiation therapy machines, which usually use cobalt-60 (though some generate radiation with an accelerator instead), and the cobalt-60 ones are always massive. They have a rotatable C-shaped arm, with one side having an enormous housing for the cobalt (and its shielding and the shutter to open and close) and the other having a big lead pad to stop the beam after it passes through the patient.
Incidentally, I often see people talking about scrapping x-ray machines and being afraid of the radioactive stuff inside. X-rays are NEVER done with radioactive material. Even cobalt-60 machines don't use that to take x-rays. X-ray machines have always used a vacuum tube, which only generates radiation when the proper current is applied to the tube. In machines made after the 40s, both a small voltage for the filament and a high voltage for the target are necessary. The most dangerous things in an unplugged x-ray machine is the oil surrounding the transformer and/or x-ray tube, which might contain PCBs, and any lead shielding.
When they first go into the x-ray room, there's what appears to be an old fluoroscope on the left in the back. Now THOSE things are freaky. Live X-ray on a fluorescent screen (which glows a terrifying neon green color) while the patient gets quite a bit more radiation than a film x-ray gives. I wish they'd gotten a close-up of it. Those, at least the type where the doctor sits in front of the screen, went out of use in the 60s. All people hear about these days are the fluoroscopic shoe-fitters (which were really only bad for the salesman who ran them all day) but the upright "thoracic fluoroscope" used to be in every doctor's office, and just about any minor thing would be cause for a quick exam with one!
Jonas Clark you seem like the coolest dude to know!
@@turbocharger5482 Thanks! Most of my knowledge of other electro-therapy devices came from Mr. Jeff Behary, who is, I think, THE authority on the subject. Most of my personal knowledge in that area is about violet ray devices, not diathermy.
@@JonasClark My husband had a friend who had a Violet Ray device, not at all sure what he did with it or if he still has it,,,
Your cinematography is unmatched by any other abandoned exploring channel. It's insane how proper the exposure and colors are in your videos considering the stress you're under of being at the locations.
Definitely much rather see support beams than graffiti within the asylum. This is such a beautiful location good to see the locals taking care of it.
I loved the birds singing. Stunning place, great video!
I wish they would restore it and make something like a retirement home its so peaceful.
Given the number of support beams and collapses, it'd probably be pretty difficult to bring it up to safety standards, unfortunately.
It'd be insanely expensive and laborious to restore and Italy is broke as fuck. Chances are it'll be too far gone to fix by the time someone has the money. It'll either rot away for years till it has to be torn down or some developer will buy the land and build condos or something on it
Seems as if they intend to save it as there are the ceiling braces. Why bother to brace it unless there is some plan.
@@carolro6673To preserve it for as long as possible.
Here in the UK, there are what are known as listed buildings (and even trees) that can only be renovated under certain guidelines, and cannot be demolished. Many developers keep buildings from falling down, then let nature do the work. Then they move in and clear the rubble and build on the land.
@@diesel_dawg Or they get mysteriously burned down...
Wow, the grandeur of that spot was incredible. Laying those little hand-placed tiles must've been a laborious task. Lab room was a killer find. Well put together, shot and edited. Keep up the great work you guys.
they looked hand cut too
they were hand cutted to. A lost art really, i remember one of my grandpa's brother who worked with "this". He was pretty fast for what i remember but he had at least 30 years of experience on it.
This is by far the greatest urban exploration channel on the web. I appreciate that they tell a story with every single video. I sincerely hope that these guys receive a television deal one day, because I could not think of anyone more deserving.
The serenity with the birds chirping as you walk around the building is aw inspiring. Marvelous.
the birds chirping is beautiful, it would be nice to just sit outside and listen to them.
The quality of these videos is amazing and the effort that went into making them is not lost on the viewers. Yet another reason why I don't need a TV.
Considering that this asylum operated in the mid 1900s, it’s quite possible that lobotomies took place in that building
how the hell is this place so untouched?
Even places i've explored in the UK miles from anywhere any bus stop or any civilisation it's smashed to shit
depends what area
You've got to remember also, that in the UK, the weather means that generally once a building has been left, it falls into disrepair a lot more quickly, which is less the case in Italy.
its italy
"this place is mental" I see what you did there
What a stunning location. Hope some of the photos from your more-recent exploration videos make it to the prints.
This is my favorite channel. I love that you give history, there is limited senseless chatter and foul language, and you respect the property! You and your team do a fine job documenting neat finds, and respect the beauty of architecture. Please don’t stop exploring, my friends! You have many fans who love your content and formula! 🙌🙌🙌🙌☺️
One of the few exploring channels that i have respect for. Would love to collab one day.
Chair just chillin: ✔
Very beautiful place
But there's one thing that would really improve your Videos, it would be extremely cool if you'd Research the internet for Pictures of rooms of the buildings youre in. For example the chapel in this video, seeing a photo of that chapel while it was intact would be extremely immersing into the feel of time and abandomend.
Also if anyone reads this, im German and Not really sure if my grammar is right...
We can't do that for certain locations because people can screenshot the frame of the video with the historical picture, and reverse image search it. We try to keep the names of pristine locations a secret in order to keep them free from vandalism.
Fizz Jizz your grammar is good. Better than if I tried typing German.
@@TheProperPeople thank you!!
Beautiful building! Such a shame it’s going to waste.
I must be getting really old, because I knew that microfiche Machine right away.
Me too! I used microfiche at a job years ago. Getting old lol
Stunning footage of one of the best asylums you can visit in the world! Brilliant use of diegetic sounds to create whichever atmosphere you intend for the specific cinematic. Top work as always guys 👍🏼
Stunning architecture beautifully captured in your images. Your care with arranging a shot is clearly evident as you pause on specific frames. I enjoy the pace you take, giving us time to take in what you are seeing. Those tiles were hand placed, first being glued onto fabric with water soluble glue face side down, and then pressed onto a prepared wall. Once the cement is dry, the fabric is soaked with water and removed, then the tiles are grouted. It is an old mosaic technique used to cover large areas. Thank you for bringing us along with you and Tobi on this exploration.🖤🇨🇦
There's a modern equivalent of this, only the mesh is at the back of the tiles. I don't know the technique, but I'm pretty sure that these days they leave the mesh and cement/grout it in place. I'm not sure if they used these mats when they built our apartment building, 50-odd years ago, but all our bathrooms have mosaic tile floors and regular-size tile wainscoting and tub surrounds. The bathrooms a chilly in the summer, downright cold in winter, even though they're interior rooms not against outside walls. (The asylum's are prettier, though. Ours are earth tones.)
In the UK these projecting things are known as Microfische, there used to be one in every library and you would have a selection of slides - yellow on blue always, and they would hold things like newspaper pages, or other factual records. They were super-reduced in size and you would have to move the slide around (it was in a kind of cartridge) and it would project in a readable size and backlit on the screen. Very cumbersome method of record storage.
Haha same in the US. They were in libraries through the 90s at least. Many libraries still have one because it's how newspapers were stored and catalogued before scanning. I was born early 80s and remember these clearly through 2000 even, but probably kids born in the later 90s didnt have much exposure.
When architecture was an Artform😞,so Beautiful,almost surreal to see a place like this with no vandalism or graffiti .There's almost a serene atmosphere to this place,especially with the birds chirping.Thanks for the great video👍🙌👏
It's only me but on minute 2:04 to 2:08 there's someone walking on the left side window? Wtf
yes dude. i was searching for this comment
They're in the building with another exploration group (You see them all entering together in the first two minutes of the video). Probably one of them.
That is one of the guys from Broken Window Theory, who we were traveling with.
Damn that was a good opportunity to click bait the hell out of those seconds with a little bit of editing lol. Good job guys I love the channel.
I thought I saw those guys at the beginning of the video.
I have got to say guys, I've been following you guys since the beginning and your videos have evolved over the years in the best way! Yet you've still held on to your great trademark live "narration" and feel of your explorations. Keep up the great work!
2:05 Anyone else see the black figure move across the left window?
Maddie Turek ima have nightmares thx
Good catch. Was one of the other guys exploring the place.
I saw there was a third person with them so it might have been them. Ahhh I don’t wanna debunk it. Because I love spooky things but that’s all I can debunk. Idk if it was him. It’s be cool if it wasn’t
The quality of your video stands head and shoulders above many others, The imagery, the sound quality, your commentry all stand testement to your skills as explorers and vidographers. I recently watched exploring with fighters explore of the same place and it just isn't a patch on yours.
A place worth exploring for sure. No vandalism, not trashed, just simple natural decay. The hallways looked beautiful in its own way with the plant life growing up on the windows and decay look. Great job you guys.
This place is so beautiful
Michaels voice is sooo relaxing.
Poor Bryan
Jack Kollhoff Bryan is cool. But I love Michael’s lol
Bryan should do a Steve Buscemi imitation.
No offence to Bryan but Michael is so much more mature and level headed Haha
I literally watch them every night before bed as I fall asleep
Yeah, this is definitely a pristine location. I'd say it's one of the best you've done.
I think you guys, Brian and Michael, have the classiest exploration channel on the entire YT hemisphere. You guys are always respectful of your surroundings and I can tell you really care about these places, and you love what you do. Thank you!
Otherworldly atmosphere. It's like a dream - completely detached from life, civilization and the normal world. The birds chirping in the background really seals the deal for me :). Incredible colours, light and architecture.
I love hearing the birds.
At 13:47 that is a microfiche viewing machine. Up to the early 1990's before personal computers, truckloads of transfiles would be sent out to be "filmed". A huge room, much like the rooms in this building would be filled with , say 100 women taking one piece of paper at a time from their own transfile and place the paper on a platform and take a picture of that piece of paper with an overhead film camera, and place the paper in another box, then repeat the process with another piece of paper from the transfile for the thousands of pieces of paper jammed in a transfile. The operation i saw used Hasselblad cameras, which were quite expensive, but obviously very robust to take so many thousands of pictures. Somehow, those pics were shrunk photogtaphically so that maybe 50 or 100 ( i forget how many) images would fit on one 6" x 6" microfiche negative. This machine would magnify and project the image onto the screen for review. I also forget how we knew which microfiche to look at to see the exact document we wanted to see (such as an old invoice) . Now we have an SD card that can hold a whole library on an object the size of a postage stamp🤯
The architecture of this place is *amazing*. All those arches and concave ceilings... I can't imagine how long it took to plan all that out, let alone to build it from brick...
Wonderfully atmospheric building, so beautiful. I wish it could be frozen in its present state of decay, and kept that way. It shows why the Italians have such a reputation for brilliant design, the sweeping arches and curves. Some really nice shots looking down the corridors. I loved the colours, the faded blues and greens, exquisite!
What a beautiful place! Hopefully they can restore it. Too beautiful to lose! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic abandonment! Hope it doesn't get trashed by vandals or demolished. Nice to see artifacts in situ and there would be some fascinating documents to read in that basement. That machine near the theatre light and chair is a short wave therapy machine, it applies high intensity radio waves via the round disk electrodes to part of a patient that needs treatment. Usually for deep tissue injuries or joint problems. Basically the same principle that a microwave oven uses microwaves to heat food. Keep up the great work, excellent documentation!
I know there are other urbex CZcams channels out there, but I almost only watch you guys because of your quality content and attitude when exploring. You're incredibly respectful when you explore and do all you can to leave it unchanged. Keep doing what you guys do!
What a beautiful place!
Did I hear you say that you found chickens?? Wut?! In an abandoned asylum? Chickens? Live chickens?? But why?! To help cut back on the fly population? Is that not a strange thing to find in an abandoned building?! Is there footage of these chickens?! :D
Might be being used by a local farmer or something like that to house some chickens, don't think it'd have any particular reason other than that
A lot of asylums were self sufficient and had their own farms, bakeries, etc to give patients things to do (unfortunately without pay) but those stalls really looked like showers too.
Beautiful! And the birds singing was awesome!
Everyone talking about the guy in 2:05, but no one is realizing that there are 4 guys there, not just Michael & Bryan. Neither one of Michael or Bryan have blond hair, such as the guy coming under the door at 1:24.
The other 2 are from Broken Window Theory, another great Urbex channel.
@@TobyFl83 Yes, really good---and they usually have have nice music in the BG. People should look them up.
I WANNA see the chickens.. really cool video
19:01 there is a chicken skeleton
This was so BEAUTIFUL! Thank you both for doing such an amazing job in making us feel like we're right there with you! You guys always make such great videos and take some amazingly beautiful photos! I love how you always give us as much info on the place as possible, it leaves me wanting for more.
What a beautiful juxtaposition between the history, building, and nature.
if I tried squeezing through that hole under the door I would get stuck lol
What a unique place to explore and not vandalized at all, Great treasure you found there, awesome video. The Italians know how to design and build with pride and status.
Wonderful! This is a building with a soul in all ways. I'm happy you guys took some great footage of it. All the information you give and the respect you both show on the spots being visited really makes this the best urbex channel on CZcams!
No vandalism. Portable items that could be stolen remain. Impressive. I'm not sure why it's so pristine, but if that is a cultural habit, I salute your country and its people.
I always look forward to your content! Great as always and perhaps best on CZcams ;)
Thank you!
impressive find. i’m so happy you guys have kept up the passion for exploring and educating run-down and nearly forgotten places!
Your various asylum explorations always seem to be some of my favorites. The different types of architecture in them are always surprising.
Amazing video guys you two are definitely my favorite urban explorers its rare to find places like that
This is the quality content I subbed for. You guys are one of the best urban exploration channels in YT.
I love what you guys do. The production is great quality and your commentary never detracts from the footage or viewer experience. It’s interesting to see how thats changed over the years. Please keep doing these! 👏
One of your best locations and filming, ever! Loved the quality of the place and lack of graffiti and vandalism. Nice touch translating the Italian in that book --really set the stage for the history of the place.
You could say this about pretty much all the places you go but I feel this one would be extra creepy at night time. Great work as always guys. You should have a Netflix channel or something but obviously it'd be difficult due to the legalities of what you're doing. ;)
5:07 is an amazing shot
I believe this is my most favorite video of yours. The asylum is so stunningly beautiful and even the decay is beautiful.
Your best yet! You captured the light and mood which gave that really beautiful building character and showed it’s grandiosity. Loved the blues and greens the windows pulled in. Well done enjoyed it.
What a stunning place! If I had the money I would 10/10 buy and restore and upgrade it! Thanks for the awesome video!
Cool place love the asylums.
awesome, keep up the good work!
Honestly these videos are so relaxing and specifically this one is just absolutely stunning. The videography, the way you display the artifacts, it's really a masterpiece. The building is so beautiful and the noises of nature coming through the windows really capture the whole vibe the building radiates. Love your videos.
It is here :D been waiting!
I'm curious why you guy's don't look in thing's like the cabinets/drawers/backpack/luggage?
Well guys, you certainly hit the jackpot with this place. Gloriously untouched by humans, no vandalism and no graffiti, how refreshing! It is such a beautiful building, the natural decay coupled with the plants breaking through made it perfect. I enjoyed every minute! Very nice explore! Thank you! ❤👍😆
Wonderful find, guys! I stopped at about 26:00 when you examined the undamaged file room because, Wow, even the woodwork in the file rooms was elegant. Even in its present state, this site is far more pleasing to the eye than most modern facilities. You do good work! *EDIT:* Another Urbex Phenomenon at 12:50, a lone chair standing watch in a hallway!
Yay, another Proper People video!
Y'all are awesome
Finally so happy 2 watch this
I've been watching you guys forever, you make fantastic videos and they keep getting better. Definitely keep it up!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! You guys are excellent at this!
12:54 If you had an ink ribbon, you could save your progress. :)
Christmas decorations: ✔ - 23:00
Stunning, absolutely stunning! Great work guys!
I love it when you guys explain the machines you find and what they used to do!
TS 2:06 someone walks past the left window. makes the place look even creeper lol
It’s just another dude they’re exploring with
Interesting that they spent all that time and money to put in all those support beams. The place doesn't look like it will ever be able to be occupied again and will likely keep deteriating further. I wonder what motivated them to do that.
My cynical side says it was an EU grant, meaning half the money ended up in someone's pocket.
In a lot places in Europe there is an auction for old buildings and it can take years. Preserving it would be smart thing to do for seller.
New to your channel. This video is truly amazing! Beautiful architecture, beautiful decay....
This is defiantly one of my favorite videos you guys have done.
You guys need to use blue lights on those tubs!
Great video as always. Question: Are you gonna be revisiting the Bumps in the Night series? I really liked your approach to it. None of that "OH MY GOD, THAT BUG MUST BE A GHOST!" ;)
Absolutely gorgeous! Great job guys! Love your work!
This is definitely one of your best finds! Goosebumps throughout the entire video!
i’d really want to see someone explore with a blue light, shine it on the walls ect.
maybe that’s just a little creepy..😐
I love you guys
Great video. You guys just keep getting better and better. Please don’t change a thing
Thank you for doing what you do Nor basically saving history before it's gone I hope you keep going with your travels And knowing what you're doing is important regardless of whether you think breaking in as a legal or not So don't worry about breaking and save what you can before it's gone
