The countryside of Irsina, the so-called "Tuscany of the South", offers this evocative panorama at sunset. On the horizon, a series of abandoned farmhouses stand out against the sky, silent witnesses of an era when these lands were densely populated by peasant families. The fields in the foreground, with their geometries created by plowing, show the typical conformation of the Murgian terrain. The warm tones of the evening light envelop the entire landscape, giving it an almost pictorial atmosphere. Irsina, perched on its hill, dominates this territory of rare beauty.
