Popvlvsque Massimiliano I Photograph by Carlo Matteo Golia & Pietro de Tilla

Brimming with historic references, this shot depicts one of the men who pose daily for tourists with Roman monuments behind them. This mutual exploitation character is something photographer Carlo Golia invites to reflect on, an interpretation level that adds to the natural reminiscence of Rome’s glorious past and films shot in Cinecittà Studios that celebrate it.
