In the modern world, every person necessarily needs a place where he can retire, be with himself and his thoughts in silence, get into his room or his garage... well, or a cave.

As our caveman Angelo Mastropietro did. However, he is not a Neanderthal at all, but quite a modern man. The 37-year-old businessman, who was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, decided to quit his nervous job, change his lifestyle and build his dream home in Worcestershire, UK, in a cave that is 250 million years old.

Angelo Mastropietro himself, with his own hands, built a modern house with heating, electricity and even Wi-Fi, spending about 230 thousand dollars on the project.
