Pieces of Italy IX
|
|
|
One part of Craco is just completly destroyed. Imagine walking down a street and sudently it just disapears into a massive landslide. It is visible that some of the ruined houses where reinforced with metal beams after it's destruction. Perhaps they where strengthened to make the rescue team work less dangerous...

Pieces of Italy VIII

The hills of Basillicata. It feels like looking into a scene from a Western Spaghetti movie. Why did they filmed in southern Spain and avoided they're own countrie's natural landscape is a mistery to me.

Marks of the Earthquake that hit Craco. A house perfectly intact and on the other side of the street, just a few meters away a roof that colapsed by the shock waves.

Pieces of Italy V

Have you ever built a sand castle on the beach. Grabbed a handfull of sand near the sea, and squeezed it so the mud drops from your hand like sandy raindrops? Imagine building a castle like this, then build a stone town on top of it. That is what Craco looks like. You see a town built around strange eroded natural sand towers. Like this one.

Craco. A Ghost Town in Basilicata. After a series of earthquakes and landslides the city was declared a hazard and not suitable for habitation. So the population was sent into a new town and the ruins of the old town left abandoned

Pieces of Italy II

One of the cities I visited in southern Italy was Tursi. Set in a hilltop, the town grew around an original muslim setlement. Today there are still muslim architecture details well visible in the old town. The most impressive thing abot Tursi and most of the cities in that region, is that they are built on this hills of wet sand with thousands of years. This makes this cities the worst place to be during an earthquake. Almost every house has a basement wich is dug on the wet sand. You can actually dig this caves with your bare hands and you can find shells buried in that milenial sand
