Why L’Aquila Earthquake Photography Matters

Telling L’Aquila earthquake today, witness through photography the city that rises, the city hostage of new town’s precariousness and the city where time has stopped the night of April 6, 2009. Give a voice and a face to L’Aquila that reacts and struggle, day after day, with civil stubbornness, to maintain social cohesion and get again its territories, its lost identity, crushed by the earthquake.

To achieve this project, 35 Italian photographers, including myself, who shared the idea of creating an entirely self-financed initiative: the challenge of a large collective narrative born with the aim of offering a contribution to re-engage attention to L’Aquila seven years after the earthquake of April 6, 2009.
