The aftermath of the 2009 earthquake in L'Aquila saw survivors facing not only physical destruction but also the challenges of invasive media scrutiny and a disorganized relief effort. As they were forcibly resettled, the community grappled with a sense of suspended citizenship, struggling to redefine their identities and envision a new future amidst the chaos. The narrative delves into the complexities of recovery and resilience in the face of overwhelming external pressures.
