Ferrandina 3
Sometimes you just want to see where things go, what lies at the end of the road or up that alley, over the mountain around that bend and sometimes you just want to capture that thought. Some of my most favorite scenes while traveling though maybe not my most popular come from the absolute opposite direction that everyone else is looking.
Speaking of opposite directions during WWII the town was vocally anti-fascist making it a target for Mussolini’s death squads resulting in the assassination of its Mayor but the citizens were undeterred and continued their protests of Fascism and civil disobedience until the end of the war. After the fall of Fascism in Aug 1945 the townspeople began to exile the landowners tied to the failed regime and repatriate all lands seized by Mussolini’s operations
Ferrandina has lived through many occupations over the millennia and tolerated them only as far as justice was observed, finding its rebellious soul awakened when necessary if oppression reared its ugly head. Most of the time the city is a sleepy beautiful place perched above the Basimento river valley its small white houses nestled together in cozy peaceful scene just don’t wake the dragon.
I took this on Oct 6th, 2018 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 Lens at 100mm 1/100s f`11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
