“Urbex” is short for “urban exploration” which means exploring, often infiltrating abandoned places unknown to most people.
The aim of urbex enthusiasts is to reveal the hidden cultural heritage of a country, sharing forgotten stories.
@vdnews_ita went to the ghost town of Consonno near Milan, to follow a 23-year-old urbex Vasco. The village was demolished in the 1960s to be turned into a Las Vegas-like entertainment city, but after a few years the public’s interest waned and a landslide made it unreachable.
