Disco Mute – The Abandoned Discotheques of Italy

By Alessandro Tesei and Davide Calloni

Between flashing lights, booming speakers, and unforgettable nights, these clubs once defined the Italian nightlife scene. Then, one by one, they closed their doors.

Disco Mute explores this fascinating afterlife — the silent, abandoned remains of Italy’s most legendary discotheques. Through striking photography and heartfelt storytelling, the book takes you inside these forgotten spaces, where memories of music, people, and endless dancing still linger.

From iconic names like Cocoricò, Babaloo, and Prince, to smaller, historic venues such as Il Tana, Domina, and Majorca, every image revives a piece of Italian club history.

Created by the photographers of Ascosi Lasciti, pioneers of urban exploration in Italy, this book combines art and documentation to reveal what’s left behind when the music stops.

💡 A nostalgic visual journey through Italy’s silent dance temples — a tribute to the nights, the people, and the passion that once filled them.
