A unique perspective on the agricultural landscape of the Murge Plateau, captured from the heights of Monteserico. The plowed fields create almost abstract geometries on the ground, with the curved lines of the furrows following the natural undulations of the hills. The contrast between already harvested areas and those still to be collected generates a chromatic palette ranging from golden yellow to earth brown. In the background, the silhouettes of some abandoned farmhouses dot the horizon. This view represents the essence of the southern agricultural landscape, where man and nature have collaborated for centuries.
