While on a road trip with our friends from Broken Window Theory, we explore the best abandoned asylum we've ever seen. The building dates back to the 1700s and is filled with natural decay, old relics, and lots of history.

No broken glass, no grafitti on the walls, this is not America.
Actually places are vandalized in itlay like in america, here they didnt because the risk of getting caught is very big
?
The only reason for there being little to no vandalism is that this place isnt well known and possibly not a lot of young ?heads live in the region, which isnt that uncommon for Italy. Youngsters flock to larger cities even moreso than in the US. Rest assured, there are otherwise just as too many vandals in Europe as there are in the US. That kinda stupidity knows no nationality. Theres other stupidities that are very “American”, though. ?
People
Are scared of going there
your right because it’s not in America …its in Italy witch is separate from the u.s …like the UK
“The asylums in Italy are insane.”
“Oh, man this place is mental.”
I love how the place looks specially the best parts, but would totally have hated to have lived there as a ill person, jeez I’d return to hunt all the workers in there :).
tweety 69 7:50 … Laboratorio. This is in Italy. And then 23:36. Enough said.
tweety 69 that’s probably manufactured in France, we are close by anyway, I didn’t see that you have a good view ?
@Alberto Rosso 8:55 “source” “activité” “dose au contact”
tweety 69 I don’t know when, please tell me the minute, anyway if you go at 14.15 the item has a silver blue catalogue sticker “ussl Savigliano” meaning the machine is propriety of the nearby Savigliano’s hospital, in Piemonte, Italy.
Home Depot employee: “What color were you looking at getting today?”
Me: “Typical vintage asylum.” 7:30
I always try to picture these places bustling with people and not so run down. If only walls could talk
I was thinking of the Nuns who must have run the place walking along the corridors

you won’t be disappointed, I promise
Andrew same here
Time to spill the tea
This place would tell a pretty spooky story.
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.
@BlackburnBigdragon I was literally about to comment about that being useful to people with POTS.
@Abigail Randall They treated the patients for all sorts of stuff while they were there. They weren’t a single disease focused place. And even residents who did stay there needed medical attention for various things. Blood pressure. Dentistry.. surgery… etc… I remember the day I was put on a tilt table for my blood pressure test. With my disorder, and when they tilted it to the standing position, within a minute, it became the worst torture I ever felt. All my blood just started draining into my legs, my heart started racing to the point where I thought that I was having a heart attack, and I almost passed out. That was how I was diagnosed.
My question is why they would have one in an asylum?
was not expecting to see someone with pots in the comments. had a tilt table test a year ago!
@LadyRed L One of those tables is literally how I was diagnosed with POTS.
Surprised to see so little vandalism, it definitely makes the architecture stand out even more.
nikeeweston Haha America bad am i right?!?
I can feel your ignorance through the screen.
Makeshift Mickey it’s called respect…not many Americans have it.
I didn’t see any vandalism at all. Just natural decay.
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.
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…
Ikr
these guys are truly epic
you aint lying. Goes to show when your in a country of people that respect each others property.
I was your 100th like
Italians even do decay beautifully, what a country.
Ikr. Definitely want to visit Italy, especially Florence, Naples, and Milan. Dolce Vita!
@ishotstuggi nah, that’s Paris
Thanks a lot?
@Mauri Mela i travel there every year. Its the most beautiful spot on the planet.
Yeah all the toxic waste dumping to the nature done by goverment and mafia, 2000years of agriculture and now have to use chemical fertilisers, some cities drown into a garbage… Sure completely beautiful country.
“Typical vintage asylum” color, yes! That pale blue-green is supposed to be very soothing and calming to patients. But it brings up an instant connection to hospitals and sickness and suffering for us now.
One of the few exploring channels that i have respect for. Would love to collab one day.
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.
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.
I love Intelligent people
Thx
not really, but it’s highly likely to be x-ray related.
Ben – Do you know what that machine was used for?
Ha. Nerd.
( in all honesty that’s pretty interesting tho )
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.
Fascinating….thanks for the insight Jonas.
@Turbocharger 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.
Jonas Clark you seem like the coolest dude to know!
@Jonas Clark 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,,,
Good to see a man who knows his stuff so I dont have to!
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 wish they would restore it and make something like a retirement home its so peaceful.
@Carol RoTo 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.
Seems as if they intend to save it as there are the ceiling braces. Why bother to brace it unless there is some plan.
I was thinking that as well!
Given the number of support beams and collapses, it’d probably be pretty difficult to bring it up to safety standards, unfortunately.
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 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.
they looked hand cut too
I got heaps of goosebumps at the discovery of WWII-era propaganda in the basement; that’s incredible.
@KMS Prinz Eugen I agree dude
@Cyba IT Oy vey fascism bad
When?
Stfu
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.
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!
“this place is mental” I see what you did there
