Photographer’s Note

Dear TE friends,

this shot closes the little "report" on the situation after 2002 earthquake.
The images didn't obtain a large success, anyway I already supposed when I decided to create this theme but in my opinion it was important to document this unknown situation.
I chose to close with this image of one of the few restored homes (finished just that day) enlighted by a pure southern sunlight symbol of hope.
Unfortunately this is still a rare example, because this village, like most of the southern ones, was already left by thousands of inhabitants in XX century due to emigration to northern Italy and foreign richer countries.
Thus, most of the homes were already empty when the earthquake came and probably no one will be interested in fixing them.

Good luck!
