La Villa Zanelli, Savona, Italy

On a beach outside of Savona, there is this beautiful villa that has a long history. A sea captain, Nicolo Zanelli, built his villa in 1907. He and his family lived in this spectacular villa until 1933. The villa was sold to the municipality of Milan after some time. It was then turned into a field hospital during World War II.

Once the war was over, it was turned into a heart center in 1967. It kept on operating as a heart center for many years until its ceiling collapsed in 1998. The historical building was abandoned after the accident. Now the people living there are trying to restore the villa.
