Chios, Greece

Chios (Greek: Χίος, pronounced [ˈçio̞s]; alternative transliterations Khíos and Híos) is the fifth largest of the Greek islands, situated in the Aegean Sea, seven kilometres (five miles) off the Asia Minor coast. The island is separated from Turkey by the Chios Strait. The island is noted for its strong merchant shipping community, its unique mastic gum and its medieval villages. The eleventh century monastery of “Nea Moni”, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located on the island. (Chios Wikipedia page).

Tresigallo – Fascist city

Tresigallo is an Italian municipality in the province of Ferrara, which is in the region of Emilia-Romagna. It has about 4,700 inhabitants.

Despite its medieval origins, to which only a 16th century palace bears witness today, it is remarkable for the transformations carried on by the Fascist Minister of Agriculture Edmondo Rossoni, born in Tresigallo in 1884. From his ministry in Rome, he developed and supervised the new village map, completely rebuilding it along rational lines from 1927 to 1934. (From Tresigallo Wikipedia page)

Now, Tresigallo is just a small town in the middle of nowhere. Restoration works are in progress, but very slowly. On saturday afternoon, walking in this streets is like walking in an abandoned city.
