Arbouna

Arbouna is a lost village located on italian mountains,near the border of France.Some religious persecuted built it on the XIth century.As time passing by,Arbouna became a village.At near 2000 mt of heights,it counts at the beginning of the XX century 350 inhabitants.With no water,no electricity and far from the nearest village by one hour and half of walking.Streets are navigable only by feet and not in wintertime.After the industrialisation,young people enlighted by the work that great industry offers,left one by one Arbouna in search of a better future.In 1962,the last eleven families left the village 'cause they were unable to make the basic works to survive there.
Now the village is completely abandoned and we go there with an old man that knows the road to climb up.Without him,one of the ten people that knows the road,it's impossible to find it.
This is our magic trip.Hope you follow us....
