The image captures an evocative perspective from inside a ruined farmhouse on Monte Caccia. A wide breach in the concrete and brick wall frames the external landscape of Alta Murgia, creating a dramatic contrast between the darkness of the dilapidated interiors and the brightness of the green fields stretching to the horizon. The construction technique of the era is clearly visible: concrete blocks, hollow bricks and now flaking plaster. On the right, a portion of red brick wall shows signs of collapse. This involuntary window, created by decay, offers a poetic glimpse of the surrounding territory, where tall grass and bushes have reclaimed the land. The blue sky visible through the opening completes this composition that combines architectural decay and landscape beauty.
