Photographer Vincenzo Pagliuca in the Apennines:

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.

In a nation that has seen declining populations in many of its regions—famously offering financial incentives to those who willing to move to some small communities—abandoned homes have become a common feature of the rural landscape.
