Inside:  abandoned mining village ‘Colonna’ (2.425 m asl, the highest iron mine in Europe).  Cogne Valley, Italy. 

The first historical information of the magnetite deposits exploitation dates back to 1432. In 1910, construction began on the mining village of Colonna, which once housed around 400 workers and was a state-of-the-art art facility with a church, cinema, canteen and even one of the first X-ray machines in the infirmary.

Vincenzo Pagliuca Traverses the Apennines in Search of Singular and Solitary Houses

Throughout the central region of Lazio, Italy, to the southern reaches of the country, Vincenzo Pagliuca traces the Apennines in search of distinctive, solitary houses.

Pagliuca’s series mónos draws on the ancient Greek word for alone, which also means unique or singular. He sought specific lighting conditions by capturing portraits of stone, concrete, and timber structures during the winter and at sunrise.

Pagliuca likens the isolated houses to “places of dream and meditation, inviting us to reflect on the symbolic meaning of the house for the human being.” Small, faded, and sometimes idiosyncratic structures are devoid of people or current signs of use, yet they sit strikingly amid mountain expanses and alongside country roads as reminders of past lives.
