A ghost town more alive than ever. Here is Craco, a small village in the province of Matera, in Basilicata, perched on a hill and surrounded by vast fields of wheat and the characteristic “calanchi”, deep furrows in the ground along the side of a mountain or a hill.

The particular morphology of the landscape caused the abandonment of the village by its inhabitants, in the 1960s, after a terrible landslide that brought down the clay subsoil.
