Subjects : it is possible to photograph a small village divided into two parts: Old Roscigno Roscigno and New. Roscigno Vecchio, the historic center, is a fraction completely uninhabited for some time due to the presence of several landslides. The historic center of Roscigno begins to empty around the year 1902 due to two orders of civil engineering (the Special Law no. 301 of July 7, 1902 and the Law no. 445 of 9 July 1908) which oblige the people to transfer in 'current location of the country, nuova.In Roscigno Roscigno old currently resides just one inhabitant (Joseph Spagnuolo) that, after the death of Dorina, the only true last resident, moved into one of the old houses, spends his days on the deserted streets of the country where, at times, comes some tourists, the lone inhabitant took the opportunity then to act as guide. Mr. Spagnuolo is very willing to lend itself to photography.

Recommended equipment : A location that can be photographed abandoned both outside and inside of the abandoned houses. (Flash and tripod welcome) I recommend bringing wide-angle and fisheye and telephoto / zoom "handyman." It 's probably possible photographic safari as they are completely immersed in nature, one can encounter in several animals / birds.

Best months : All times are good ... autumn / winter great for the gloomy atmosphere that can be found, while in the spring / summer you can enjoy the fantastic colors. Highly recommended time of sunset.

How to get there : By car: Roscigno is 85 km from Naples and is located 28 km from the A3 Salerno-Reggio Calabria, exit at Athena Lucan. Alternatively, the City is accessible by car via the National Highway 166, at the junction of Corleto Monforte.fortemente advised other means.

Visits : Free admission to all the abandoned area (despite the presence of warning signs to attest the danger of collapse ...) There is the presence of a small "museum" with typical tools and many many photos (historical and otherwise) of the place. free admission, offer optional.

Notes : It 's the ideal place for a day of total relaxation surrounded by nature, in a great place, and why not, in the company of Mr. Spagnuolo (only inhabitant) and his delightful gatti.Resto waiting to hear your comments / opinions . greetings
