Abandoned Elegance
This photograph captures a poignant scene inside one of the abandoned buildings of Poggioreale, a ghost town in Sicily, left behind after the devastating 1968 Belice earthquake. Once a thriving community, Poggioreale was abruptly deserted as its residents relocated to safer ground.
The room, with its peeling walls and scattered debris, tells a story of time standing still. A broken chair lies beneath a window, through which filtered sunlight softly illuminates the decay, creating a haunting contrast of beauty and desolation. The curtain, worn but still hanging, frames a glimpse of the lush greenery reclaiming the landscape outside—a symbol of nature’s quiet resilience.
Taken in 2023, this image not only reflects the town’s forgotten past but also evokes a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about the lives once lived within these crumbling walls.
