War is violent action. 
Weapons. Confusion. Blood. Excitement. 
This is what we are used to look at. 
This is what generally happen. 
But after war? 
Signs of rage and fury remain. 
Desolation and indifference. 
Distroyed walls of houses are scars which remind us of cruelty and pain. 
Empty streets and abandoned neighborhood are signs of the defeat of human beings. 
Wounds change relation between people: before cohabitation was possible, now it is not acceptable. 
Today winners are taking it out on losers, who were in charge till yesterday, a spiral that only time can erase, maybe when towns will not show evidence of the brutality of a conflict, of what men can do, when district that were once rich and charming , become again symbol of change, and rebirth.
