The Umbria 1997 earthquake involved different consequences at many levels. Destruction of cultural heritage and historical buildings, loss of urban funcionality and demographic decrease specially in small towns demonstrated that a seismic event produces a complex damage wich is more relevant than the sum of different damages on building environment.
Post-seismic interventions has been displayed in different sectors. Their influence on many different places is easy to demonstrate. Furthermore they had also a general effect; not only on physical configuration of every single urban context but also on the appearance of the whole region and on its social representation. In a word the reconstruction process produced effects also on the regional landscape.
Therefore reading different "earthquake landscapes" of Umbria requires to take a look on different transformations due to reconstruction, from different points of view.
This book collects many images of these modifications as a first step for a possible discussion on the reconstruction process
