Roma. Never Walk on Crowded Streets

Giovanna Silva arrived in Rome in January of 2020 and immediately set off walking. Following the suggestions of her personal guides—artists, writers, intellectuals, Romans of all shapes and idioms—she began to get to know the city. She returned to certain places over and over again, overtaken by meticulous and neurotic attention, moved by an unexpected passion for light. Tucked between her photographs is a text by Alberto Savinio about the magic of walking and discovering a foreign place.
