Borgo di Sogna, an 11th century hamlet that had been abandoned for more than 30 years, has been meticulously restored by Fulvio Di Rosa.

   Sogna, instead, looks as if time rolled back, showing the village as it once was. No wires, no shiny bricks, no kitsch, no artificial landscaping. Here is the dignity of simplicity.
