Sine Sole, which comes from Latin and means Sunless. This is the story of Viganella, Italy, a little village in the Alps that does not receive sunlight during the three winter months from November to February, staying in the shade because of the surrounding mountains. In 2006 was built a mirror on top of the mountain in front of the village, that has allowed the sunlight to be reflected to it. This fact has reached international attention when a Norwegian village, Rjukan, adopted the same system. I wanted to tell the story of the first town in the world that has utilized this type of technology, innovating the pursuit of light.
