About
Italian ghost town fought obscurity until a mysterious illness brought it to its knees.
There are only ruins scattered throughout a thick forest of holms and maples that serve as silent reminders of the town's past. There is some debate about the town's origin, but it is most likely that it was founded by the Etruscans as a military outpost called Careia, and slightly expanded during Roman rule. The first time the town was abandoned was during the Germanic invasion, but it wouldn't be the last.
