One such sunrise struck Franco Cagnoli with an inside calling that led him to go on a mission that affected both the village and him deeply. Rocca Calascio has seen no resident since 1957. Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began in the early 20th century, accelerating (加速) after World War Two when people were attracted to urban jobs. However, like many places, the area is enjoying a revival (复苏) and now home to some families. “To put it in romantic terms, there is a love story between me and the ancient building,” Cagnoli said as he showed visitors round the castle of Rocca Calascio. The castle, with foundations dating back about 1,000 years, is one of the highest in Europe. It was built as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea. Cagnoli, now 39, first saw Rocca Calascio when he was 16. He was on a road trip to find himself. “I arrived here as the morning sun lit up the castle. I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed,” he said. “I thought it was the most beautiful place. I felt special energies, deciding to help its rebirth.” He’s now the castle’s caretaker and head of a cooperative whose members guide visitors. “Besides temporary visitors, the complete revival has much to do with permanent residents. People of the previous generation didn’t appreciate the land they lived on,” Valeria Befani, a resident in the village, said. “Today’s teenagers, like my children, are proud of their land and are happy if they can stay here.” 1．What inspired Cagnolito help revive Rocca Calascio? A．His trip to find himself. B．The historical importance of the castle. C．His love for ancient buildings. D．The impressive scene of the village. 2．H
