A single hill, with its sinuous and perfectly shaped forms, dominates this composition captured near Montescaglioso. The curved lines created by plowing faithfully follow the terrain profile, creating an almost hypnotic effect. The upper part of the hill, illuminated by the sun, contrasts with the shadowed area at the bottom. Scattered trees along the ridge add vertical elements to the composition dominated by horizontal lines. This type of landscape, where human intervention has shaped nature without distorting it, represents the essence of the Murgian territory.
