Ernst Haas - the great master of colour photography since the 50's - seems to have said of his beloved New York back then that it is was a beautiful city on the verge of crumbling. I think this applies to Rome still today. The reason I want to show a gentler side of this chaotic and unnerving city is that I hope to elicit love for it. And the more people will love it, the less the chances that it will crumble.
