"LUCANIA, BETWEEN MEMORY, TRADITIONS AND IDENTITY"

Dignity Special Award, Dignity No Profit People ETS

Lucania, a seismic territory that still preserves the memory of the 1980 earthquake, in the remains of the houses that could not be rebuilt, over which time and nature have now established their absolute dominion. a land still strongly linked to its traditions, such as the procession of the patron saint (San Gerardo), which flows through the streets of the town, and where one can still find, especially in the elderly, the taste for slow living, walking among their own uphill alleys, or overlooking the door, or quietly sitting watching the world, on straw chairs, en plein air, in profound connection with nature and humanity. the photos were all taken in Muro Lucano (PZ), between 2017 and 2023.
