On the night of April 6, 2009 the city of Aquila, Italy, was destroyed by a violent earthquake causing 309 deaths. Today, after seven years away, the rebuilding process is 40% of the work, but more and more people show adjustment problems, as if that night along with 309 dead people has broken the identity of each of us. In this series I want to show the adaptation problems that people show in living in a city that has lost the reference points, the historical center, the living habits and the sites so beloved that in just 32 seconds of the earthquake have been cleared . The ghost portrait in the picture is in search of his lost identity that notta and never seen again because the earthquake when it hits you like a war destroys everything in front of him.
