Some of Cartier-Bresson's most famous pictures were taken in Aquila degli Abruzzi, as it was then known. The town drew a lot of photographers because it was quite remote until relatively recently, and people continued to dress in distinctive local clothing for a long time after such things had been homogenized elsewhere. Set against the beautiful architecture it must have been a wonderful sight, and a beautiful place. I do hope it can be restored - because of the photographs I have always wanted to go there.
