EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of a horse standing amidst the desolate streets of Craco, a once-thriving town now lost to time. Craco, located in the Basilicata region of southern Italy, was abandoned by its residents after a series of natural disasters struck in the 1960s and 1970s. The devastating landslide in 1963 forced people to evacuate their homes, while a subsequent flood worsened their plight in 1972. Finally, an earthquake in 1980 dealt the final blow, rendering Craco completely uninhabitable. Despite its tragic history, this ghost town has found new life as a backdrop for numerous movies since the 1950s. In this photograph by Federica Gentile, we witness an ethereal moment frozen in time - a solitary horse gracefully navigating through empty streets that were once bustling with life. The vertical composition and vibrant colors add depth and intensity to this image. It serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and nature's unforgiving power. As we gaze upon this scene from afar, we are compelled to reflect on our own impermanence and appreciate the fleeting moments that shape our existence. Federica Gentile's masterful photography not only captures the essence of Craco but also invites us to contemplate themes such as abandonment, nostalgia, and rebirth. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is an invitation to explore forgotten histories and find solace within their melancholic
