We lived near Naples in Licola de Mare in a nice villa owned by a local Italian family. The home they grew up in was across the dirt street from our villa. The house remained in good condition but was full of their old furniture and clothing. It had not been occupied since all the kids left as adults in the 1960s. There were a lot of older houses in southern Italy that remained vacant over decades and surprisingly none of the Roma (Gypsies) who passed through the area were ever seen squatting in the vacant buildings.

As Sicily is desertifying due to climate change, there will be many more of those in the future.

Sicily is being deserted for many other reasons than that

I don’t doubt it. But lack of water is exacerbating it. Used to be the breadbasket of Italy wasn’t it?

Really? What’s going on?

Care to elaborate?

No work, high taxes, not a lot of opportunities unless you are connected. The pay is also not enough to support yourself if you do find work.

I wish someone could take and reuse that gorgeous mahogany headboard. I know you're supposed to leave it there to rot, but my mind screams nooooooooo.
