How are historic buildings in central Italy one year after the earthquake? A photo campaign documents it

How are the historic buildings ofcentral Italy one year after the earthquake that cost the loss of lives, and extensive damage to historic and artistic heritage in an area covering four regions? The movement Do you recognize me? I am a cultural heritage professional, which in recent days on social networks launched the initiative of a crowdsourced photo campaign created by activists and users living in the affected areas.

A rather discouraging panorama emerges, with several buildings uninhabitable, even in places far from the epicenter, where work has yet to start, and of which the date of reopening to the public is still unknown. Historic buildings, museums, churches: several photographs attest to the state of affairs in central Italy.

“Returning those territories and communities to normalcy,” the movement stresses, “must be the priority for any government.” To be able to see the dozens of photographs (and to learn about the situation of individual buildings: in fact, each photo is accompanied by information on the progress of the work) just log on to the Facebook page of “Mi Riconosci,” which can be reached at https://www.facebook.com/miriconoscibeniculturali/.
