Vistas of Craco

At the first Crachesi del Nord America Reunion in August 2007, members shared photographs and videos of Craco.  These images are available in a two disc set featuring a CD ROM containing a slide show of over 15o pictures from Craco and a DVD with over 90 minutes of home movies, which have been digitally enhanced.  The DVD provides a unique view of the town from three eras:  The 1929 movie, taken by a newlywed couple visiting their ancestral town on a honeymoon that summer, gives us a view of what Craco looked like in earlier times.  The 1963 movie, taken by a father returning to his home town with his son during a family vacation, offers us a glimpse of Craco just before it was abandoned.  The May 1991 video shows us the nobility of the empty village as it endures desolation. 

 

  

 

Below are links to brief video clips from each of the three segments on the DVD.
