they have gone

The gaze of a traveller, who wants to immerse himself in the evocative atmosphere of the lower Piave, would be captured by the discreet presence of unusual imposing buildings integrated with unexpected material naturalness in the countryside. These are the so-called case coloniche. What I want to tell is a story, one of the many stories hidden in these border areas between land and water. Past lives can be guessed around these monuments of a peasant reality, now extinct. Stone dinosaurs mark the territory, a warning not to forget those who have rejoiced, suffered and worked hard here.
