Silent Rome sounds like an oxymoron. And yet at that time, in 2020 and 2021 lockdown, the eternal city lay stretched out, alone. In the emptiness a thousand unknown faces appeared. Palaces and squares had been seen so many times but never in their bare essentiality. Nothing useless, nothing insignificant. Everything was suddenly presented in the inexhaustible richness of simplicity and everything appeared in a new light.
'Still Rome' compiles images of a vanished, ephemeral world captured in a unique historical moment to keep it from disappearing completely, just leaving a trace of it for those who have not had the good fortune to experience a silent Rome.
