In the surroundings of Irsina, along the SS665, a highway viaduct crosses the Murgia landscape creating an interesting contrast between modernity and tradition. The infrastructure, with its regular pillars, fits into the context of the undulating hills without completely distorting it. The wheat fields in the foreground maintain the typical golden colors of summer, while in the background the hills follow one another in a series of backdrops that fade into the horizon. This image documents how the Murgian territory is changing, adapting to the needs of modernity while preserving its agricultural identity.
