Craco, a typical village in the Apennine’s chain, almost completely abandoned in the sixties, following a hydro-geologic landslide, is the prototypical medieval village of the Italian region of Lucania. Its polysemic landscape around which hovers a kind of sacredness of time, draws an ontological dimension, that of the man who is conscious of existing in a relationship with nature, representing the intent of a growing number of visitors and the cinematographic world, in search not only of an aesthetic drift, but above all an archetypal reality, the inherent spirituality of this almost biblical landscape, its memories and narrations. It is then possible to think of a conservation project which would enhance certain civil and ecclesiastical buildings of the village, aiming to promote their current vocation.References
