Casa al Prenestino

Outlining one's progress.
Pursuing, a metaphor of thinking.
Think, pursue: moving forward, catalysing images and concepts.

Walking is the first and foremost act of knowing and recognising through the echo and footprint of one's steps imprinted on the traces of the past. Rome is an overwritten city, an immense palimpsest of eras which are significant to those who live and travel around this stratified city: when travelling around the city, along urban routes, space and time seem to expand or contract to keep pace with oneself and, sometimes, due to such acceleration, much of the City remains unnoticed, relegated to becoming a simple backdrop.

It is necessary to adopt a slower pace to observe our surroundings and enter into contact with the marvels around us.

This interior, in front of the ancient Villa Gordiani, reiterates the attention with the slow path as a cure and project theme.
The stunning floors, which at first sight could generate a feeling of confusion is, in actual fact, a kind of indelible tattoo left on the surface as a pace controller and suggests a form of respect but also acceptance of the nascent state.
Pursuing therefore with one’s eyes, thoughts, moves our body and mind, generating visions that allow us to be unique and never repetitive, with a gesture that is now, more than ever, so very necessary.
