What an amazing find!!!! Literally in the middle of nowhere, La Scarzoula was a 16th century monastery acquired by Tomaso Bozzi in the 1950s. He proceeded to build what he called his “ideal city”, which features various building structures with a ton of mystic symbols and seven theaters. The theaters are a reference to the drama we call life.
