I Photographed Breathtaking Paintings And Frescoes In Abandoned Places In Italy (25 Pics)
Photographing abandoned buildings in Italy is always a pleasure. This country has a special place in my heart, and it is my favorite country to visit. I’ve regularly visited Italy to photograph the amazing architecture of abandoned houses from North to South. During my architecture photography trips, I also gathered a collection of photos of breathtaking paintings and drawings in or on the abandoned buildings. Some of these beautiful paintings even cover the whole room, including the ceiling.
Some of the wall artworks in these photos are described as frescoes. Fresco is a technique where freshly laid, or wet lime plaster, is painted. Water is used to ‘transport’ the dry-powder pigment to merge with the plaster, and while the plaster is setting it becomes an integral part of the wall. The resulting wall paintings are stunning.

I can't fathom how such a building would be left to decay... such a waste of potential

I love the Juliet balconies on each side!! I could see a family play or opera here, back in the day.

I'm picturing the lady of the house quietly walking the deserted hallways and rooms looking forlorn, forever waiting for her husband to return from war.

Gorgeous photos, but it breaks my heart ot see these places falling apart. I know it's near impossible ot save all castels - tehy are just too damn big. But villas?? Come on, Italians! Move into these buildings and save them! This is your heritage!

I think in Italy (EU) they have the same rules - if it's declared monumental, you have to have special people work on it and it's just too expensive to revive. But otherwise you get developers making this art into a modern monstrosity.. I'd love to get one and revive in original form.
