Shot in Abruzzo, Italy in the abandoned village of Frattura Vecchia devastated by an earthquake in 1915, this series documents how the histories of migration to escape the poverty and hardships of central and southern Italian towns are deeply felt to this day. Focusing on the resilience of remote rural communities facing harsh conditions, adversity, and the complexity of their relationship with the land, the series examines Italian heritage, the persistence of cultural traditions, and national identity.

Sponsored by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto and The Embassy of Canada to Italy.
