For the past several years AFS Intercultura has put on a photography competition titled "Così vedo l’Italia" (So I See Italy). They invite year and semester students hosted in Italy to submit photos which represent true Italian culture. For five months, November through March, the participants submit three photos each. A single photo is chosen as a winner for the month and special mentions are given to other photos which did not win, but were well liked by the judges. At the end of the five months the top three of the five winners, as decided by a panel of judges, have the fees paid for them to travel to Ivrea and participate in some activities organised by the local chapter. I am excited and proud to say one of my photos was chosen as the winner for the month of December! Below is the official announcement, as well as my winning photo and caption.
English translation:
"The History is still Alive"
One day my host family took me to see the living nativity of Pezze di Greco. In this place you can see people reenacting activities as they would have been done in the past. This experience gave me a new appreciation for the history of Italy and the way in which it lives on today.
