Abandoned Farmhouse and Rolling Hills: Lucanian Murgia at Dusk

At dusk, the landscape of Lucanian Murgia takes on particularly evocative tones. An abandoned farmhouse, with its crumbling walls, stands out against the rolling hills that fade towards the horizon. The fields, in various stages of cultivation, create a mosaic of colors ranging from green to brown to the yellow of stubble. The melancholic atmosphere of this scene tells of a territory that has seen generations of farmers work the land, many of whom later abandoned these countryside areas during the rural exodus of the twentieth century. Today these ruined buildings are an integral part of the Murgian landscape identity.
