Full Description

The volume invites readers to reconsider the symbolic complexity of the Colosseum through the works of one of the most captivating contemporary photographers, Olivo Barbieri. ​Famous for his unique use of perspective and light, Barbieri transforms the Colosseum into a disquieting visual narrative, highlighting its history, modernity, and architectural seriality. Each photograph, turning space into time, captures the monument’s infinite grandeur and its most auratic details. This significant sequence of images offers a singular perspective from unprecedented viewpoints, making the ancient world extraordinarily present while preserving its timeless vastness. The book is enriched with texts by Andrea Cortellessa and Luca Fiore.  

Text in English and Italian.
