Expressing Your Vision - Vittorio Veneto and The Square Mile

I live in the center of Vittorio Veneto, a small town in the province of Treviso.

Vittorio Veneto is situated along the edge between the plain and hills, a few kilometers from Venice (going south) and Dolomites (going North).

You should come here: the location is gorgeous: fields, lakes, hills, mountains are easily reached and the sea is not far.
Vittorio is scattered with historical places, most related to first and second world war.

Vittorio is slowly going to nowhere.

Paradoxically, the location is at the same time a gift and a curse from the sky, because Vittorio is always "on the way" to reach a definite location, but it is rarely "the location". It is not the location for tourism, it is not the location for industrial and/or agricultural operations.

Vittorio is always close to somebody or something that "is more and better".

I live in Vittorio since 2006: I got a job in one of the remaining companies, and my wife as well. We did love the place and living there: we still do.

Nevertheless, I look around and I see shops, business and industrial activities, hotels, restaurants, cultural events, young people, smiles, social life going elsewhere.
There were a big spa, a prestigious theater, some big companies, several glamorous places: where are they now.

I see myself picking the car each morning and getting out of Vittorio (my job is 90 km away now) and going back in the evening. I am not the only one.
My idea of Square Mile is to express the melancholy of living in a beautiful place and being witness of its slow decadence. For this reason I will make photo-sessions looking for examples of this decadence, hoping to be a bit provocative and stimulate a reaction. In the meanwhile I will, as advised, look at practitioners' works: Keith Arnatt  and his  "Area of outstanding natural beauty"  http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/arnatt-aonb-area-of-outstanding-natural-beauty-t13148 was a good inspiration for me; Jodie Taylor as well, with her "Memories of Childhood" http://weareoca.com/photography/photography-and-nostalgia/ .
