Ever wondered what stories live whitin the veins of Rome?

About

Our mission is to celebrate the textures and materials of Rome that hold untold stories and histories.

Often overlooked, these elements like Sanpietrino cobblestones encapsulate the city's diverse past.

By engaging with these textures, we invite you to connect with Rome's history and become an integral part of its evolving narrative.

Places

Our project aims to immerse you in specific locations where you can experience the unique textures and materials of Rome. We've created three distinct types of videos, each focusing on a different material.

Our call to action encourages you to visit these landmark locations to activate the videos, underscoring the significance of these textures. Upon watching the videos, you'll discover more about the history of these materials and the events that have shaped these areas.
