I wanted to realise this site, together with my son Roberto, to link both virtual and real relationships with those who will visit these pages, dedicated to my town: Orsara di Pùglia (FG).
I' m Pietrantonio Fatibene, a "guaranteed quality" villager of Orsara.
I teach Non-verbal Languages and History of Art in the Higher Education Institute "A. Rosmini" in Lucera (FG). These are two subjects that I intensely live since when, as a boy, I started to be involved in photography, cinematography and architecture.
The passion for photographical and cinematographical arts made me realise documents which I consider important because they run through more than forty years of life in my town, of the surrounding lands and of my life. More. Passion drove me to give birth to a photographical file which sums up a hundred years of life of the town I live in.
I took part in photographical exhibitions: I realised videos that concern art and architecture of some towns of pre-apenninic Daunia; I founded in the seventies of the past century, together with other friends of mine (don M. Pepe, don R. Marino), a television station called "Telecattolica" (now situated in Lucera); I gave birth with E. Battagliotti, A. Casoria e don M. Pepe to the local Diocesan Museum.
After a long administrative parenthesis, during which I covered the offices of political secretary of a local branch, of public works councillor and Mayor for more than seven years, I decided to dedicate my free time to communicate, through the pages of my site, most of all, with my fellow-citizens all over the world.
To belong, to identify, to know and to recognise oneself, to note and virtually communicate. These are the targets I am determined to reach. The dream I'd like to realise is to meet one day in Orsara di Puglia all my emigrated fellow-citizens, that assimilated here the imprinting they always bring with them, in the DNA of their personal history.
My engagement is in the wake of rediscovering the simplicity of our local area, of our both civil and religious old traditions, of the tastes of our essential and poor kitchen, of the genuine taste of conviviality, of the simple naturalness in human relationships, of the brightness of the colours of our land and our sky, still remained untouched.

yours, Pietrantonio Fatibene
