Past event
The event
For almost seventy years human impact on the planet and on our past has grown dramatically, giving rise to a new epoch: the Anthropocene, an era in which we are destroying the past to build the present and the future.
This is the reality that archaeologist and cultural heritage expert Federico Zaina describes after a decade of research: with the Atlante del passato perduto he takes us to places on Earth as significant as they are now inaccessible.
In conversation with photojournalist Federico Borella.
