16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Abandoned Church, Italy, 2016

This picture marks a very advanced stage of the reclaiming process. It suffered an earthquake, but had been abandoned before that because the size of the parish had become such that it could not host all the believers anymore. A bigger church has been built on the opposite sidewalk.
