Visioni di case che crollano

"What to do with our ruins, what to do with all that is archaic and outdated, and cannot be sold as just another consumer item?"

The countryside around the Po delta is dotted with abandoned houses and farmhouses. The landscape appears desertic, almost humanless. Some people shares stories about their bond with the land while the italian writer Gianni Celati documents the tragedy and the loss of values in this new landscape of desolation, with a superb narrative style.
