Vajont

At 10:39 PM on October 9, 1963, approximately 270 million cubic meters of rock slid into the basin created by the Vajont Dam, causing a flood wave that swept into the Piave Valley, destroying the town of Longarone. Today, those places symbolize the fragility of the environment and serve as a warning for future generations never to underestimate the impact of human activity on the land.
