..... Ti rendi conto che stai arrivando alla città fantasma di Craco perché il paesaggio d’improvviso cambia: all’intenso verde dei boschi che hanno reso famosa la Basilicata si sostituisce il giallo ocra di sconfinate praterie su cui troneggiano come giganti addormentati i calanchi. È come se da un film di cappa e spada ci si spostasse sul set di un film western, o sul set di un film ambientato nell’antica Palestina, con le sue abitazioni che si fondono col paesaggio. Quando poi appare dietro una curva, Craco ti strappa il fiato come una fortissima emozione. Vedi le case arrampicate sulla roccia con quelle finestre scure che sembrano occhi che ti scrutano per capire chi sei e cosa ci fai lì, visto che non ci abita più nessuno. Ecco la prima impressione di Craco: un luogo dove il tempo si è fermato in un’epoca incerta, ancestrale.

.........You realize that you are coming to the ghost town of Craco because the landscape suddenly changes: the green intensity of the woods that have made Basilicata famous is replaced by the yellow ocher of endless prairies on which they throng as giants asleep the calamchi. It's as if a hood and sword film moves on a western movie set, or on a set of a film set in ancient Palestine, with its homes blend with the landscape. When it then appears behind a curve, Craco tears your breath as a very strong emotion. Look at the rock climbing houses with those dark windows that look like eyes that look at you to figure out who you are and what you're doing there, since no one lives there anymore. Here is the first impression of Craco: a place where time has stopped in an uncertain, ancestral era.
La fotografia ti permette di fermare l’attimo, cogliere l’istante, fermare il tempo. Lasciare ai posteri un ricordo della tua vita, lasciare che qualche altro veda con i tuoi occhi.
Gianni Amodio
Photography lets you stop the moment, catch the moment, stop the time. Leave the posterity a reminder of your life, let some others see with your eyes.
Many thanks dear friends for your views, faves and supportive comments. These are always very much appreciated.
