Italy's Spectacular Abandoned 1960s Mountain-Top Party Resort

On the side of a mountain in the north of Italy stood a small village named Consonno. It didn't even have a road leading to it, which is eventually important to the story. Wealthy entrepreneur Mario Bagno had a dream of building the ultimate resort, akin to Las Vegas, in Italy, so he set his sights on Consonno. Bagno built accommodations and entertainment facilities and opened the resort in 1967. Today, all that's left is a marvelous collection of abandoned buildings, which we will take a video tour of while we learn the story of Consonno. (via Digg)
