The fields around Montescaglioso take on sinuous shapes reminiscent of sea waves. The plowing lines perfectly follow the natural curves of the terrain, creating a visual effect of great dynamism. A small group of trees on the right interrupts the monotony of the undulations, adding a focal point to the composition. The clear sky, of an intense blue, provides a backdrop to this essential vision of the Murgian landscape. These images testify how agriculture, practiced with respect for the morphology of the territory, can create landscapes of extraordinary beauty.
