During the golden hour, the hills around Acerenza light up with extraordinary tones. The hill in the foreground, completely illuminated by the grazing rays of the sun, shines with an intense yellow that contrasts with the shadowed areas of the background. The sky, with its shades ranging from blue to pale pink, creates an almost surreal atmosphere. Acerenza, with its imposing Romanesque cathedral, dominates this landscape that seems to have come out of a painting. The particular quality of light at this time of day transforms the ordinary agricultural landscape into a spectacle of rare beauty.
