Here is a classic "cold war" product. One of the many military installations in north-eastern Italy, dispersed in the countryside which after their decommissioning, were left in the care of decay.
At this NATO logistics base, there were American and Italian (air force) soldiers. There’re the offices, the bunkers (from which they controlled the missiles of the Nike system, which should have shot down any Warsaw Pact aircraft), the troop and officers' quarters, in short all that was needed (from 1959 to 1998) to support a number of soldiers that was around 100/120 units.
