Did you know that Italy has a few cities that are literally declared "dead cities". Or, call them "ghost cities" is you want, the thing is no one really lives there.
Although they're not really among the destinations of most tourists, some people adventure themselves to visit them, despite the fact that they shouldn't, because of safety reasons.
The most famous of these ghost towns might be Bussana Vecchia, in Liguria. An earthquake destroyed the town but there are still some residents who fought for their opportunity to be able to still live there.
Giardini di Ninfa, in Lazio, was abandoned because it was struck by malaria and wars (a long time ago). Now it's a place where you can admire some beautiful gardens and ruined buildings.
There are more than 2 dead cities in Italy, I just found some details on these ones.
Were you ever there? Is it interesting?
