The fields of Genzano di Lucania, just after harvest, show the parallel lines left by the passage of combine harvesters. These regular geometries, following the natural undulations of the terrain, create a visual pattern of great aesthetic impact. The high voltage cables crossing the image add further horizontal lines to the composition. The hill in the background, with its golden tones, completes this typical vision of Murgian summer. Genzano di Lucania, an important agricultural center of Basilicata, is at the center of a territory where wheat cultivation represents the main economic activity.
