Wonderful!
And I thought I was allergic to my office.

How do you find these places?

Cycling around my city.
This place has now been renovated, but for months (years?) it had remained like this.
I think it wasn’t so much the mould that struck me, but those little pieces of furniture in that standard style now long out of fashion.
Or perhaps it was the tiny detail of the light switches, shaped like sunglasses, staring back at me.

Oh cool, an environmentally friendly "living wall" - like how they do those roofs with plants on them.
Lol.

I was also mesmerized by the floating sunglasses. The position of the chair and furniture gives the illusion that people/person sat in front of the wall and watched Mother Nature. Kinda like a rose garden, but on a smaller scale. It also looks like the ceiling opened up and spilled what was stored in the attic onto the wall.
Last year I finished rehabilitating a four story, 46 unit, modular apartment building. The owner kicked the contractor off the uncompleted building and then the owner let the unroofed building sit for eight months, during the rainy season, without any rain/weather protection. Every apartment/modular unit was thick with black mold. Nearly all the drywall, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, cabinetry, appliances had to be removed and replaced.
You seem to have a penchant for abandoned buildings. How do you get in? In California all abandoned building are required to be locked up. Does Italy allow abandoned buildings to sit opened?
