This paper aims to bridge this knowledge gap by reviewing the literature on the use of place-centric digital technologies in disaster settings. Understanding how these technologies address the social dimensions of human perception of risk and human responses to the loss of place during disasters is crucial for supporting long-term recovery efforts of communities and place.

The main purpose of this paper is to analyse and discuss the co-creation process we undertook with residents of the town for the making of an immersive documentary Italia Terremotata which explores life before, during and after the earthquake.
