Grand Hotel, San Pellegrino - facade of the central wing

Grand Hotel, San Pellegrino - auction sign

A relic of the heyday of San Pellegrino, the Grand Hotel was (quite literally) a watering place for the wealthy. It's an Art Nouveau treasure, built in 1905, but now sadly going to ruin, its fixtures gradually being auctioned off (as shown in the sign above).

If I had a few million euros, I'd buy this poor old hulk and restore it.
