When an Italian family was renovating their house, they made a fascinating discovery.
In Italy, the family decided to sell their city apartment and move to the countryside.
They were looking for affordable and enduring accommodation.
They opted for a two-story house, built of sturdy stone despite its age.
They decided to purchase the house and renovate it.
When the craftsmen began repairing the staircase, they noticed that the steps leading to the second floor were open.
The new owners were surprised. After moving the steps, they discovered another room under the staircase.
The house had been empty for a long time, and several owners had succeeded each other.
It was not clear who had built the secret room and for what reason.
At first glance, the room was filled with rubbish and useless items.
What was missing? Folding tables and chairs lined the walls, while a pile of old dishes sat in the center of the room.
The owners started removing the useless items and discovered something valuable.
On the top shelf was a crate of expensive wine from the 1970s.
All the bottles had remained intact for many years.
Besides the fact that the wine was excellent, it was also valuable as a collector’s item since production had been discontinued.
A rare book from an old publishing house was another significant find.
Although a bit worn, the book was still in excellent condition.
The room was only 20 square meters.
The owners decided to turn it into a pantry.
They never discovered why the room had been created or why it was hidden under the staircase.
Perhaps in the past, it was a cellar or a library and then became a place to store various useless things.
In any case, it was fascinating to discover it in the house, and even more so to find precious objects from the past.
