    I noticed that someone here would want to know more about this beautiful place. I made my research and I think I'm pretty sure to know where is this place is. I also found some information that someone might find interesting. I will not reveal where this place is located but I'll give you some indications: it's not far from Turin, in the Piemonte region of Italy. The palace was originally built as a castle in the XVII century and was later modified and restored as a villa in the XIX century. The building, the entire household (of 1.000 square meters) and the 70.000 square meters park are on sale at the time I am writing this comment. The place is registered as a "luxury and historic" asset in the Italian register of the real estate assets, so obtaining permits for restoring it might be a nightmare and it would cost a fortune. It really is a shame, but these things may happen: families' richness may fall, and the cost of the mainteinance of a place like this (as well as the taxes) is extremely high. Anyways, if a real estate investment fund acquired this and made this into an hotel, it would make a great service to the history and the cultural heritage of my beautiful country.

      I’ve been researching property purchases in Italy. I have been told property tax can fluctuate wildly. Say one year it could be 3% while another year it could be 40%. Have you experienced this?
      As far as this property, how much $ are they asking?

    • @migiurtini
      @migiurtini 6 років тому +15

      @@tedcarl5382 property taxes generally depend on a number of factors: category of the property (e.g. it might be listed as commercial or residential and in either cases you have sub categories which may affect the property tax), municipality where the property is located (some have higher taxes than others), number of properties owned and other issues. It is true that if one of the regulations affecting the calculation of the taxes changes you might have some fluctuation, but I'd not say that there is much of a variation from year to year. In any case, before purchasing a property in Italy I would strongly suggest to approach a good notary public and/or tax consultant beforehead.

    • @freyallarganswald4746
      @freyallarganswald4746 6 років тому +3

      Ian McMurtrie The term 'dumbwaiter' came to be as the lift was first used in large houses that had their kitchens and household staff in the basements or the ‘servants quarters’. These servants would use the lift to take food and dishes upstairs to the dining room and back down again as the go-between from kitchen to restaurant, allowing noise and cooking odour to be isolated from the patrons. The origins of the term are simply that this lift was a way of having your own silent waiter, not seen and not heard.

    Each day he'd come into his Beanie-brary and select a small lucky group with whom he would gather around the table for a special tea party. There would be cakes, biscuits-and of course Tea. Not wanting to play favorites, the Lord of the Manor would keep track of his guests in a beautifully hand crafted ledger. It was the only book in the library.
    Don't get me wrong, I love your explores and deep respect for the people who once were and the belongings that remain.

We could too but I am not able to go, but it would be such a nice help to have a place to stay. A top floor of family home! They do this in Italy , often.

    I really like your presentation style, and the choice of background music. You have an educated yet sentimental viewpoint, showing conciousness and respect of the intimacy of a family environment here in this palace. The music enhances this effect. And you choose the most fantastic locations that showcase the the beauty of European life through the ages, in the leavings of daily family life. Thank you, from this American, for your work! It is wonderful.

Lights shining down on all the guests women in beautiful gowns , tall handsome men in their tux taking a lady on his arm making their way to the dance floor for a waltz around the room. I bet that was THE place to be once upon a time. AWESOME place as usual, you guys never disappoint me. Keep up the great work, stay safe and God bless you all 😍😍😘😘

      Renaissance can refer to a time period, but also an architectural style. In my city the most famous private "villa" is now a museum. It was built with oil money in 1930's and is classic Renaissance style. So you see, in my example Renaissance refers to style, not time period. : ) Lucky for us, someone (the top pinned comment) researched the time period of this beauty, and learned it was constructed in the 17th Century as a castle, then later modified and restored in Classic Renaissance style during the 19th century. She is a beauty isn't she? : )
