Avezzano. Il Castello Medievale prima del terremoto del 13 gennaio 1915

What might seem like a posthumous Christo installation is simply the cathedral of Avezzano shrouded in scaffolding. The chair arrangement is for a big-screen viewing of a European championship match involving Italy to be shown in the evening. Leica Z2X on Rollei Superpan 200 B&W film.

It is, however, a nice exercise in nostalgia and a good way to rediscover some old gems from when I did fieldwork. Here’s the Cunicoli di Claudio, the Tunnels of Claudius, near Avezzano, Italy. The Roman tunnels cut nearly 4 miles through the heart of Mount Salviano to drain and control the levels of the Fucine Lake, a now-disappeared lake in central Italy. The lake had no natural drainage outlets and was prone to flooding the surrounding agricultural lands; though the tunnels clogged as maintenance decayed through the fall of the Roman Empire, they were eventually reopened and expanded in the early 1800s to drain the entire lake for good.

Avezzano, il terremoto dimenticato che fece oltre 30 mila morti 104 anni fa morirono 30519 persone nel terremoto della Marsica. Uno dei più disastrosi eventi della storia d'Italia oggi ritorna di attualità per la forza con cui i sopravvissuti ricostruirono le proprie vite e per la solidarietà e la coesione sociale che unì un'intera nazione. Il bisogno da sempre apre gli occhi sui bisognosi. Per questo dopo 104 anni quella lezione rimane ancora preziosa. Continua a leggere
