A Palace is just a home like any other, countless memories are made inside, love is created, and fights are fought. This was nonetheless true for the extravagant palace of the Italian Giogino Family.
At the end of the 19th century, the family left their home country Italy behind to pursue business and politics in their neighboring country Switzerland, in doing so they build a grand palace in Swiss Italian style and brought their whole family over. At one point over 40 family members lived inside its walls, one can only imagine the atmosphere that used to transpire inside this place!
The family stayed very influential over the course of the century, but eventually, its numbers started to dwindle, times changed, and the younger generation moved out and started living on their own. This continued until the early 2000s, when the last inhabitant, mister Marco, passed away and left everything behind to crumble apart.
It has been 16 years now since the Giogino family stepped foot inside their palace, today we are at its doorstep to take a look inside its forgotten walls.

  • I renovate neglected historic Italian villas and palaces in Tuscany on my channel, and honestly I can see that this place could still be saved! Even though ceiling plaster is starting to crumble, the integrity of the ceiling struts.. and actually the bones of building generally seem totally fine. FOR NOW! There are still artists here in Italy which continue the art of ceiling fresco painting, so even these can be restored without much problem. I hope this place gets the investment and love it deserves sometime soon

You take great care not to damage or exploit these grand spaces that once had families who loved, cried , died and lived their lives in them. It’s very important these places are shown so these people are not forgotten nor a way of life that will probably never be again. Thank you for your hard work and respect you show to those who once were.

  • The item in the bathroom at 23:15 you weren't sure what it was is a Antique Porcelain Sitz Bath. By 1900 they were specialized bathing devices in high-end bathrooms of the 20th century. Designed for hygienic-therapeutic use, as well as to appeal to the taste for luxury technology. Used to bathe handicapped or elderly or people of ill health more conveniently then in a regular bathtub. They were also marketed towards parents as a easier way to bathe children. Indeed I am sure only the very rich had them. In later years (& to the present times) Sitz Baths became used more for Hemorrhoids & when women got a Episiotomy during birthing, etc. I hope this helps you Lesley. ♥

    • Inheritance laws in many parts of Europe are quite complicated. Many times it needs all the family left behind to agree to sell a property or it gets left to rot away. Near my old house in France was a beautiful Chateau that was left to decay because the family couldn’t agree what to do with it. I managed to get inside and was amazed to see what was left behind. And still there so many.

And I have heard and read about those laws there that seems to leave things completely alone to decay on their own if not all agree. Here, it's more probate. They all need to decide something or eventually the government strong arms their way in if there was never a will. The government gets it eventually and the history just vanishes.

  • If 40 people lived in the place at one time all those bedrooms were not for children. It was common for married adults to sleep in separate beds. The rooms with only one bed was probably for single adults or late teens. The room with the 4 bunk beds was definately a child's room and the bedroom closest to that room was probably for a nanny. I also noticed what appeared to be a picture of the palace on the label of the wine bottles. With the large funnel at the beginning of the video I think, perhaps, they may have made their own wine. I love how you say, "tinted glass" instead of stained glass! I love to travel along with you via your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.

  • my favorite part about these painted ceilings is that the artist will paint the shadows away from the windows to give the ceiling a feeling of extra depth and realism. for a period of time, any wall sconces or standing candelabras would also primarily be installed on or near the window wall in order to create the same effect at night. EDIT: I wrote my comment right as I got to 21:30. although i'm not 100% certain, your mystery object looks like the brass base of a very early, wall-mounted gas lamp, where the gas line might have been run up through the wall at the time this building was constructed, or it might have been added not long after. i'll add another edit if i see anything that changes my mind in your video, lol.

  • Just want to say what I’ve said many times before - love your documentaries! I’m in my mid 60’s so sometimes I have to remember that my age allows me to know things that you may not when it comes to these homes. The last room is probably the receiving room where persons would have waited perhaps to be invited into the office which was nearby or as a pass through to go into the second to the last room where the owners would have entertained. The middle is quite open because back in the day when it was built ladies were wearing quite large skirts on their dresses and needed to pass one another without practically knocking each other over. The main dining room would be the one where the plate warmer in the radiator was. I noticed that the top was flat so they may have used that space as a place to keep other things warm. Thank you Leslie for you’re hard work in making theses documentaries for us. All the best! K.

I've learned that from Laine Berry of Our Restoration Nation - another KZhead channel. She's taught me so much.

The drawer that you opened which was lined with shelf paper is the kind of drawer one would put silverware in. The warming box in the radiator might have served to keep dishes or food warm. Beautiful tour. I love the Italian art and design throughout.

  • The outlet in the first bedroom you came to is the base for the "pull". Homes with servants had these in their bedrooms and living areas to call servants. There were ornate hangings from those outlets, which connected to cables that went to the servants quarters (generally in the basement). Each cable corresponded to a bell marked with the room that pull was located in. So if the master woke - they pulled the rope and the corresponding bell marked "Master" rang in the servants quarters to let them to know to begin dressing them..

  • This is absolutely such a gem in the wilderness. The ceilings were uniquely designed. I sort of think it started out as a home for some very rich people, but ended up being ass a school or orphanage for children? Not sure but think as the furniture was placed together very closely as to perhaps help the children sort of console each other perhaps? It could be frightening to small children even if this was their own home, it would take time to find their way around. they either had many children, or this is what happened over the years. It looked like people rented at first and then had to change my mind later. Can see the elegance all over this palace. The talk you gave and the showing respect you have for each place you visit means so much. Am glad you reminded people of the "rules" people should be under when coming to places as such. These were homes of people who loved their homes and worked hard to live in his way. It was not as easy as it all looks to get to this point in life. It is enough all of this is being ruined, but people do not need to rush it along. Many need to learn history and enjoy seeing how people lived at various times in history. Was feeling so badly when you hit your head on that horribly low beam! Glad you were alright in the end. Not a good idea to have them so low. You wonder how many people have not done this before?

  • The room with the fruits depicted in the ceiling painting would have been the dining room. For centuries it was quite usual for the decorations in a room, i.e. the carvings in the fire surround or the painted or plaster frieze, to reflect the room's purpose. Thus, in a music room, there would be motifs representing music, instruments or perhaps the classical gods of music, in a library motifs might include books, scholarly items and representations of actual scholars, and so, in a dining room, fruit or game and a cornucopia were often depicted. A further clue to the room's identity is found in the radiator that incorporates the little cabinet (with doors) that was used to keep dishes warm before service.

The unique desk looks to be from the early 1940's customized to fit the space. The entry, hallway and telephone....how unique. The peeling wallpaper 53:08 exposes the maybe original wall which is hand painted? The red upholstery is linen and the chandelier looks to be Venetian (as others). The attic is my childhood dream. The sitting area 55:41: the built-ins for display, the bench and the paintings. I know that you have a deep respect for these places, as do I. However, I would not hesitate to tear off the invading ivy and close all doors and windows. The vandalizing is minimal compared to anything in the US. I want to imagine that someone will save this beautiful place before the roof rots (or worse) and destroys everything.

  • Very interesting place to have discovered. I am happy to see you are living your dream, doing what you love. The extra fixture in the big bathroom was called a sitzbath, they were used after horseback riding, and sometimes to freshen the lower part of the body between baths, back when people only bathed weekly. The bedroom between the bathroom and the bedroom with the bust was probably originally slept in by the Ladies maid, and also served as the dressing room. The plainer room off the fancy children’s room might have been for their governess and nursemaid to sleep in. Servants of that type often slept within earshot of the family member they were serving. General servants were often quartered in the attic, because it was hot in the summer for the family. It also meant that in case of fire, the family could more easily get out of the house, the higher the floor, the more dangerous. In a case of fire. The family would also know if a servant tried to leave the house at night, as they tried to keep their servants from going out and getting into trouble. It would have been nice to have seen the kitchen, but it was a truly beautiful home, with interesting architecture and fabulous decor. Thank you for showing it to us.🖤🇨🇦

  • Th>s castle was beautiful, thank you for taking along with us. I have a suggestion, maybe as you walk through these homes that are still in fairly good shape (for the most part) maybe close the windows that are open in the rooms you are showing. As I went along with you I wanted to close them. 🙂

  • Woow, dear Lesley, you finally made my evening after a rather dull Sunday! - What a great highlight to finally watch a video from one of my most favourite explorers! - It's so incredibly heartwarming to listen to you, when you are praising my home country. When you were visiting this abandoned palace from the 19th century, you were probably coming to my place after that, last year, right? Incredibly beautiful and ornate ceilings in the neo baroque style. - Wonderful furniture! Especially in one bedroom the whole furniture, the beds, cabinets and wardrobe were designed in the same style. I would say probably 110-120 years old in a very clear art nouveau style with these beautiful floral decor carvings and the initials, how they are looking, leads me also to the conclusion of art nouveau! - I am not quite sure, but on one ceiling I think, that I recognized a chandelier made from Murano glass and in another room the lamp in the ceiling showed typical art deco features, maybe art nouveau. - And - I fully agree to you: I also hate seeing these horrible graffities in such historical locations and the traces of vandalism. - This whole place was absolutely wonderful to see and had somehow also an enchanted vibe. - Thank you, dear Lesley, for sharing this amazing location. - I also loved your enthusiasm and excitement, when you were exploring this fascinating palace. I am still so much looking forward to your next visit at my place! - Stay safe, peace and many hugs, dear bro! Blessings and kindest regards.

  • I fell in love with the ceilings, so beautiful and original. I’m inspired to do a similar painted effect on my bedroom ceiling. I painted the crown moldings in my house with pastel colors to match the decor, they make the rooms very interesting and distinctive. A wonderful tour, that furniture is so expensive and lovely to see. Thanks for a look into another lovely building. The graffiti is a reminder of how YOU treat these places with such respect. Loved it.

The wooden doors, door casings, windows, window casings, antique wooden furniture…all sooo very beautiful & magnificent!!! The ceilings were gorgeous!!! The floor & wall tile, was sooo very durable & grand!!! I was happy to see that family had removed clothing, pictures, family memorabilia & personal items, from this property!!! Palm trees & split leaf philodendrons in Switzerland… WHAT??? I would have never guessed that they could have sustained the winters there!!! The roads were sooo very narrow!!! Good thing that the population is low & they drive slow👍🙏❤️ The country was absolutely gorgeous!!! I laughed… when you guy’s washed your face’s in that horse trough…I could feel just how cold that water was…done that 😳😂🤣 Sooo very glad that you guys can stay in your van & experience the great outdoors!!!
