Nunzio Annunziata

Nunzio Annunziata, a 44-year-old electrician from Salerno, has made headlines as the first resident of the alpine village of Ranocchiaia since 1979. His decision to move to the mountains of Stazzema was driven by a desire to oppose totalitarian regimes and to repopulate a small community. He has spent the last three years restoring a stone house at an elevation of 800 meters, balancing his work maintaining an electrical system in a hotel with his passion for sustainable living and self-sufficiency.
