In 1971, Pietro Rossano documented the life and landscapes of the town of Acquaformosa, in Calabria. The sequence opens with panoramas of cultivated hills and terraced fields, where vegetation alternates with rocky areas. The camera then moves to the perched village, with white houses standing out amid lush greenery and surrounding boulders, introducing the viewer to daily life in the town. Women in traditional dress and children fill the cobblestone streets, while a bell tower with a cross dominates the center. Details of local architecture emerge: wooden doors, arches, shuttered windows, and a small sign reading “Via Brego.” A child in an orange T-shirt observes the scene, guiding the viewer’s gaze. The sequence ends with the sun lowering on the horizon, small and orange, marking the close of a day among nature, the village, and the memory of its inhabitants.
