thank you Dauvo i was born and grew up in Mammola it is about 5 km from Cinquefrondi it is a beautiful location the ocean i believe it is less then 10 minutes drive hope to visit this small city in the next year
I'd love about 3 ruins. Leave the center one open as a garden area and do a house on each side for me and also family. A couple lemon trees, lots of flowers, an outdide place to enjoy nature . Would make a wonderful area got gift shops, s bakery etc. Or even an artisan school.
I know it has to be a bad indicator of how the town is doing - lack of jobs, youth flight, you name it - but that section with nature taking over really is hauntingly beautiful.
I agree with you. I can't wipe that experience out of my memory. Glad i walked up those steps and peaked around the corner ! Do you think you would have gone in there?
As much as I don’t enjoy the thought, I think that some of the most ruinous properties should be selectively taken down in a manner that would potentially allow for small multi-use green areas, perhaps small parking areas devoted to quiet electric vehicles and offering charging stations. Perhaps many facades could remain but still incorporate practical internal use of the otherwise unusable lots. Once seen as more practically accessible I think many communities have a chance to survive and perhaps even thrive. 😊
Always great input! The only road access without taking down a house on the adjacent street is from that back area below the hill. But I'm sure it could work the way you are thinking
Calabria is such a beautiful part of Italy with some of the worlds most beautiful beaches. It’s such a shame it doesn’t thrive like the North of Italy.
It's got a beautiful view over a park, would be great if a few investors could pitch in and make a type of hotel or artisan type of hotel of the whole street, got al lot of potential and keep it historically in tact.
Wow, beautiful. I agree, Via della notte seems magical. I'm coming over in April, Calabria is where I want to look at property, and I'm definitely going to have to look at Cinquefrondi.
I think those old collapsed properties should be cleaned up, made save and advertised as a kind of ghost city (such as Pompeii), showing tourists how people from that area used to live. It could be a kind of open museum. I would certainly visit it. A small charge and the sale of Calabrian products would be perfect.
Its a dream of mine to secure work online and be able to move to Calabria. My grandparents came to Canada from Cinnquefrondi in 55. I'm told after the time of food rationing that town was never the same.
I don't understand why Italy doesn't just tear those dangerous rubbles down and let people come in and rebuild from scratch on those lots. I also have heard that you need to only hire contractors from those villages to do the work. Kind of sounds like the Mafia is running the show with those demands. That's one of the reasons people ran away from those areas to begin with. Let's face it those properties have been like that since ww2 and no one did a thing with them so why now all the rush to get people there to try to reconstruct rubble. It is dangerous to even drive to some of those remote locations. My ancestors are from Italy and while I love the food and the scenery I will never understand how a country could just let decades of decay sit there and now they are pandering to people from all over the world to go there and fix a situation that they should have fixed decades ago.
@@DauvO Great, even less use for these (un)health passports then!:-) I absolutely love Italy but now I don’t know when I will ever be able to visit again… Wish you well and love your channel!
By town, do you mean suburb? Approximately what proximity are towns from each other? For example what is the population of the above town you are showing us? Is there work for professionals or would you need to start your own business? Is it easy to commute from a town to are larger city where you might find work?
Unless all the properties were made secure with locked doors, who knows what goes on down there. This town should find a way to do that, otherwise it is not safe for habitation.
I was thinking the entire time. 'It needs to start from the community first' meaning that they need to focus on exactly what you said before they stand a chance at recovering old architecture. It would be interesting to visit again and speak with the municipality
thank you

We agree!

Noi siamo calabresi
This video was the best. Live the captions and appreciate the amount of homes you captured. Thanks!
Thanks! It's always a mystery whether new video styles will be received well. I appreciate your feedback

It looks like someone feels like it is historically significant based on that new street sign. I like your idea.
Sad and beautiful at the same time
Yeah I agree. Interesting to think about the residents living there and their lifestyles
Wow, beautiful. I agree, Via della notte seems magical. I'm coming over in April, Calabria is where I want to look at property, and I'm definitely going to have to look at Cinquefrondi.
I wonder what the locals think of that street. where are you going to visit?

Love those narrow Corredor‘s

If Italy modified their residency laws, it may help with all these ruined homes…
Maybe.. But most people likely wouldn't even care about the smaller villages of Italy. It's something they need to solve internally I think.
Loved this, thank you!

I love the narrow streets.
Widen the road access...provide some Parking and restore the rest...
Sounds simple! Let's do it!
I am surprised a developer has not gone and refurbished these areas.
Unreal...
I agree full-heartedly
Beautiful...
which town in calabria is this? its so beautitiful
This is Cinquefrondi! Some of the town was not so beautiful. But it had its own charm i guess
If they make it a covidpassfree zone, I’ll invest!
Funny you say that.. I remember their CNN article title was Cinquefrondi: the 'Covid-free' Italian town selling $1 houses

@@tobias9859 I agree with you man, but we are heading over soon. Will be trying to avoid, 'health' mandates as much as possible.

Have a look at google maps. That way it is easy to see the distances between the different town villages.
Whuuuuuuuut in Calabria and Chris from SST hasn’t gotten there yet?
Guess i beat her to it! I know she had her hands full in her own area.
all 2000 villages in Calabria look pretty much like SDT or this one, did u check the distance between these 2 places? it's around 200km...
@@tanner293 Calabria is pretty big for sure

This is not the US
So sad... the reverse side of Italy
There are many places like this. First time I walked through such an overgrown section of a historical center though
It's better to find a home in much better shape and less work.
Difficult imaging how via della notte could make a comeback without economic revitalization to the local economy.

I can imagine this area more beautiful than it ever was!
In the old days people could live there, why not today, nobody wants to work.
I'd have to agree with you. Business needs to grow in order to bring people back. That requires workers willing to work
