“Beautiful Rome, you, your Muses / Shiny asphalt, Arrivederci Roma / A little coin and there you go / Some come back and some go away / You do your part / But you don’t know / How much pain you give me”

Vacanze Romane, song by Matia Bazar

Rome is the capital of Italy and one of most historically interesting cities in the world.

With its twenty-eight centuries of history, the city is scattered with traces of the past – “vestigium” in latin, the etymological origin of the word “vestiges”.
Ancient Rome, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassic styles mingle together designing the modern urban landscape of the Italian capital in a rather unique way.

Here in this gallery some pictures have been selected portraying the roman urban landscape between remainings of the past and modernity. The photos were shot during my stay in Rome (2007-2014).

“Roma bella, tu, le muse tue / Asfalto lucido, Arrivederci Roma / Monetina e voilà / C’è chi torna e chi va / La tua parte la fai / Ma non sai che pena mi dai”

Vacanze Romane, Matia Bazar

Roma e’ la capitale d’Italia e una delle citta’ storcamente piu’ interessanti del mondo.

Con i suoi ventotto secoli di storia, la citta’ e’ corparsa da tracce del passato – “vestigia” dal latino.
Antica Roma, Rinascimento, Barocco, Neoclassico… tutti questi stili si mescolano definendo il moderno paesaggio urbano della Capitale in un modo assai singolare.

In questa galleria sono state selezionate alcune immagini che rappresentano il paesaggio urbano romano fra passato e modenita’. Le fotografie sono state tutte scattate durante il mio periodo di permanenza a Roma (2007-2014)
