The ligurian hamlet of Monesteroli is one of more than 6,000 abandoned hamlets and villages throughout Italy. Clinging halfway between sky and sea, the area traditionally relied on farming. Only reachable by climbing a 1000 steps stair, abandoned, remote, ignored by mass tourism, hit by the harsh sun and roaring waves, Monesteroli is now crumbling into the sea bringing with it the local culture. The project developed by Camilla Vespa and Sadegh Kaveh, students at the Politecnico of Milan, targets slow tourism and rural regeneration, to recover the village together with the land without losing their roots.
