I took this photo of the village of Castelluccio di Norcia in 2010, the sun was just rising.
In 2016, an earthquake hit this area and also this village, the damage was considerable as many of the houses shown in this photo had collapsed.
The village is on a hill on the plateau "Piano Grande", a plain at about'1450 metres altitude where a lot of lentils (legumes) are grown.
