Palaia
GHOST TOWN: Villa Saletta is a medieval hamlet abandoned at the end of the 1990s, which was also used as a shelter by Nazi troops during WW2. Its agricultural past developed on 600 hectares of land cultivated by sharecroppers living in the 25 colonial farmhouses composing the village. But, despite the fact that sharecropping originated in this area of Italy, that economic system eventually came to an end and sharecroppers moved to nearby factories (such as Piaggio, a well-known Italian motor company) to work for a more monetary profit.
