Made in the Apulian town of Martina Franca, the work belongs to the series of enquiries Cresci conducted in the south from the late nineteen-sixties on, and turns the town into an imaginary place: the interiors, the facades and the people are recorded and at the same time displaced, so that documentation and invention are no longer separable. The text is by the art historian Enrico Crispolti, and the volume was awarded the Premio Scanno for a photographic book in 1982.
