I’m sorry that I am just discovering your interesting comment on my post about the Italian Village. I love the details you remember. The elephant was a “she,” and you are the first to mention an amputated trunk–how weird is that?! I, too, felt that it seemed like a dream, which is part of why i was compelled to do such detailed research on. The current owners gave me such an evocative tour of the ruins! Thanks again for your memories, which i value as corroborating my own!

I was so excited to see this article. I have fond memories of the Italian Village from the 70′s. My father was the consumate tourist in California and how he found that place I don’t know, but he did. I’m the oldest of four children. I was a teenager and didn’t appreciate the weekend trips my father would take us on. We would have rather stayed at home with our friends, but Daddy was always exploring. I know that we went there several times on the way to Lake Elsinore. We would wander the little deserted town and it seemed that each time we went there a different part of the town was open with a different type of business. I remember a deli once and a bakery and some sort of gift shop. There was always music playing through speakers. Some of the animals were still there, but not many. I mostly remember the elephant. I don’t know if I’m remembering it right or not, but I thought he had had part of his trunk amputated. There was some kind of carnival like train that I never saw working and a bridge to the restraunt. There was a hairless chiwawa (sp) running around, peacocks, and chickens. It was so eery and so few people anywhere to be seen. We ate a 10 course meal in the restraunt and it seemed like everything tasted like the antipasto. I think the restraunt must have done well because there were limos bringing people in all the time, and my Dad would joke about it being a mafia hangout. I have tried to find information about this place and was beginning to think I had made it up.

Glad I to read your beautiful story about the De Palma Italian Village. I had read about it of all places in the Playboy magazine! We drove there one night and (I had the best abalone steak I have ever eaten in my life) had an enormous and tasty dinner. The only negative thing about the meal was finding a tack/nail (the kind used in the wooden produce boxes) in one of our appetizers, mussels arrigenatta (sic)?; but that could be a sign of freshness I guess. What a shame there are no eclectic, fun, and singularly unique places like this anymore. Many thanks, agd.
