As in the famous Youtube joke with the German Coast Guard: Mayday, Mayday, We are sinking. What are you sinking of? So would you be so kind as to give us a clue? I just made this post to bring it up on the list before it reaches the bottom of the ocean.

Here's the clue: It was a private road leading to the majestic villas on top of the tuff cliff. It was dismissed long before the 'Clinica Mediterranea' on the right was built. Also, sorry for the cryptic puzzle, it's my first one. I still need to calibrate the difficulty. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Thanks for the clue. You really should calibrate difficulty a little bit because this puzzle was like 0 vs. 100 (clue 1 vs clue 2) on a scale of 100 regarding the clue ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/drbrq1k3e/image/upload/v1659967728/user_uploads/replacedoriginals/outimgm7emd5861itb35.jpg)

First of all, welcome to F&G. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) You'll see, it's very user-friendly. Well, it's friendly, anyway. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Second, thanks for the clue. Third, the question I'll ask again and again and again: how were we supposed to find this without a clue? In other words, how did ndrqu find it? ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) ![](http://s3.postimg.cc/m618mrlxf/jungle.jpg)

Thanks to everyone! I already like this community. Here's the solution: Actually this was a private road built in order to connect the big old abandoned building (please refer to the Maps link below) to the street. The building was dismissed and looted and the road was then used by the people of villa that you can see in the photo I posted. The luxurious villa is actually "Villa Crespi", planned and designed by Davide Pacanowski. The particularity of the villa is that it was built in 1952 with some advanced building methods, like the big central pillar entirely set in the tuff and the facade made of the same material. Link to Google Maps: click Some old photos (you can see the upper part of the road of the photo, now dismissed too): www.architettiroma.it/monitor/d/progetto.asp?id=838The "Clinica Mediterranea" is the building on the right. It was a shortcut I added in the clue because I thought that the puzzle could result too difficult.
