⛰🌊 #9October 1963.
I took this picture few days ago in Longarone, not far from Venice and from #myhometown in the #Dolomites.
This is an installation that encloses in the background the #Vajont dam, the tallest dam in the world built between 2 mountains overlooking the valley.
Exactly 60 years ago #Longarone was completely destroyed by a flood and a landslide entirely caused by governments, energy companies and immoral corrupted men.
More than 2000 people perished in a second: one of my family was in the army at the time and was sent there the day after to dig and search for bodies and remains... he never recovered from what he saw and witnessed.
Today the Vajont Dam is still there as a message and warning on how money and power can be the worst enemies for nature and life.
Below an overview on the Vajont desaster👇
