Common Walls, Jails And Prisons, Walls for knights to guard. Nightmares to deal with the fake friends that leave you to swing in the wind, happy to save their own skin, happy to keep heads in the sand. Gifts and talents runs to good looks, lack of brains, with lots of tickets for trains, and free plane rides. Hell hounds here on earth, gifts from the center of the earth, gifts from the fake friends, lies for the truth and honesty with rose color glasses. Mistakes made with the whales on land, mistakes made with the fairies, mistakes made with the frogs and the fools.

Owner wanted for Ligura Castle with a garden in need of a good trim
Built in 1911, in Coppedè style, as was fashionable during that period, and features a total floor surface of 800 m2 over six floors for a total of 26 rooms and halls.
This cave entryway is pretty fantastic too.
The price is 2.5 to 5 million euros, full listing here.
Looking through these properties for sale gives me a mixed feeling of wonderment and sadness. Amazed by these beautiful and vast estates with their elliptical staircases, medieval frescoes, and sweeping views over vineyards, but saddened by the ghostly absence of the families and communities that once inhabited them. You can almost hear the chatter of party guests on a warm summer’s evening, the echoes of laughing children that knew every hiding place, the sprinkling of water being hosed over the flower beds by a proud gardener whose entire family had been employed here for generations.
