    Nothing Else

    Pietrapennata, Calabria

    A path through brambles and ferns leads into the Valley of Silence.
    On a plateau, the bell tower and jagged walls.
    A few cows. Nothing else.

    Black and white photograph of the ruined bell tower of Santa Maria dell’Alica framed by jagged stone, with clear sky behind; weathered arches and crumbling walls evoke centuries of abandonment.

    Broken Strings

    Pietrapennata, Calabria

    Figs were wilting on the trees.
    Wasps buzzed around them.

    Broken, stringless electric guitar lying on the ground in front of a crumbling stone building in the abandoned hamlet of Pietrapennata, Palizzi, Calabria. Parts of the instrument are damaged and covered in dust, with a dark doorway in the background evoking decay and neglect.

    Aspromonte

    Aspromonte, Calabria

    I thought I was lost in the woods.

    Two traditional musicians from the Aspromonte mountains in Calabria perform among the silver firs—one playing the zampogna, the other a tambourine—in a timeless black-and-white scene that captures the soul of southern Italy’s folk heritage.
