This content explores the haunting beauty of abandoned homes in the Italian Apennines through the evocative photographs of landscape and architecture photographer Vincenzo Pagliuca. Pagliuca’s work captures the spectral quality of these empty, isolated houses in the Campania region, as well as along the Apennine mountain range. These uninhabited rural houses and abandoned holiday homes, once linked to ski tourism, now lie dormant due to lack of snow. The images in his book, Mónos, were taken during winter to capture the unique light and atmosphere of these desolate spaces. Pagliuca’s photographs invite viewers to contemplate the emotional significance of home and the sense of shelter and intimacy it embodies for humanity.
Landscape and architecture photographer Vincenzo Pagliuca was always fascinated by the empty, isolated houses scattered around the Campania region of southern Italy where he grew up. Since 2016 he has travelled along the Apennine mountain range that runs almost the length of the country, photographing uninhabited rural houses and abandoned holiday homes linked to ski tourism – now unused due to lack of snow. These images, collected in the book Mónos, were shot during the winter months to capture the particular quality of the light. “A house immersed in a winter landscape, even more so in its isolated state, evokes an ancestral sense of shelter and protection,” says Pagliuca. “It becomes an archetypal image of intimacy, inviting us to reflect on the psychological significance of home for human beings.”
