DW Segment on Italy's ghost towns.
Pentadattilo (translated as 'five fingers', at least based on this article's ) is an Italian town located somewhere in Calabria.
Abandoned around the 1960s - 1970s due to earthquakes and landslides, the town remains intact, albeit in a slowly progressing state of decay. The town also has a bit of a sinister history: the slaughter of a family clan in the late 1600s (also found in above article ).
TLDR: 2 rival familes. Boy falls for girl in rival family. Said girl's family has good ties in politics, and influential politician also falls for girl. Boy, pissed off at girl's family, goes with clan members to girl's family and disposes of everyone (including a 9 y.o. kid JFC) except girl. They get married (probably forced). Politician family sends military to deal with boy, who then abandons girl (lived and died in a convent, where she stayed for the rest of her life), and escapes to vienna. Becomes an officer, dies in war.
Good plot for a horror movie too I guess, as well as a good place to visit, even for just a bit. There's also a yearly movie festival held, to presumably keep the memory/village alive. Last one was held sometime August. Youtube channel is here
Probably adding this somewhere in my bucket list.
EDIT: Pentadattilo, not Pentadatillo
