Night Photography nominee

In an era in which we are seeing a return of defense boundaries everywhere, against terrorism, immigrants, commerce, history remembers us that everything changes, through space and time. The cities we live in are constantly mutating organisms stratified during the centuries. that’s particulart true for Rome, a city that more than others reveals the traces of its changes: The first defensive walls establishig an impassable limit nowadays go across the main railway station of the city, a symbol of connection and union, insted of separation. Remains of aqueduts and imperial terms are nowadays integrated in bulding whose inhabitants, often unaware, share their everyday lives with history, once solitary temples are now surronded by urban traffic, wrecked watchtowers, claim their stubborn presence in the city suburb. Silent witnesses of a glorious past, overpowered during the day by urban chaos, which speak again at night to tell us their long stories and that everything changes.
