Abandoned Italy

An exceptional photographic report. Discover the former hunting lodge of the Duchess of Parma, a spectacular abandoned Moorish castle, the remains of film studios with the scenery from a Pinocchio film, a disused psychiatric asylum, a famous but now-forgotten discotheque in a mock medieval castle, the ruins of a renowned spa hotel ravaged by fire ... Robin Brinaert has been travelling around Italy for over eight years in search of these abandoned, forbidden, forgotten places.
He highlights the sometimes dramatic fate of our heritage – a serious reflection on safeguarding.
