Two dutch guys, Bart and Rene, who are into Urban Exploring, visited what remains of the abandoned Innocenti factory in Milan this month and took some photographs of its current condition. Bart reports ”Demolition has just started, so we came just in time!”.
The factory buildings covered a huge area, and other parts of it have been demolished over the years. I always held a secret hope in my heart that some rich philanthropist would buy up the remains and save the last pieces. Yeah, I know. I’m a dreamer.
Its so sad to see just a beautiful building in such a condition. Even if I don’t take into account the scooter history of these buildings, it still saddens me.
Thanks to BBS user “Strom Thurmond” for posting up the link there.
The factory has fallen into this condition since owners of the time, BMC closed its doors in 1972.
Roberto Morelli has more pictures from the past, including some from a visit in 1995 on his website.
