, 1/200 f/11.0, ISO 64, hand held. Trapani, Italy.

Poggioreale, città fantasma sita nell'entroterra siciliano della provincia di Trapani, è iniziata, così come la conosciamo, poco più di 50 anni fa, quando venne colpita da un violento fenomeno sismico. Il terremoto del Belìce, notte del 14 gennaio del 1968, di magnitudo 6.4 sulla scala Richter, fu chiamato così in quanto colpì una vasta regione della Sicilia occidentale, per l'appunto nella Valle del Belìce, coinvolgendo diversi paesi compresi tra le provincie di Trapani, Agrigento e Palermo. Tra le cittadine colpite compare anche il nome di Gibellina, diventata famosa per l'opera di land art di Alberto Burri, il Grande Cretto.

Fascinating shot from an abandoned city that also reminded me of my father, who was the first officer to lead a rescue group (then there was no Civil Protection) in the area and stayed there for months and they themselves had nothing with which to remove the debris, at least until a company of military genius arrived that improved the situation.

Beautiful photo, permeated with sadness for what happened more than half a century ago.
Hello, James.

the Earth does its job... our fault for what happens. Being Friulian by birth I must say that, at least there, they learned the lesson.
I was struck by the caption because I was then a soldier in Palermo and I was in Belice for rescue.

Regardless of the terrible seismic event, you can not and should not let a country like Poggioreale die. One of the many unforgivable absurdities of local and central institutions. How much beauty and culture go up in smoke. The photo further testifies to the architectural value of this center. Congratulations Dylan.
bye gios ;-)

Thanks for the comments, a greeting to:
Gios ... d'agree with you, on this street, the main street, you see an old theater ruined, small but still distinguishable in its typicality. There are still old signs and details that make you truly realize that in that place life ended on January 14, 1968; I do not hide that walking in that country I felt sadness.
Luciano ... thank you always
... good evening.
