Awards 

Rome City Vision Competition, 2nd Place

Rome is the city of illusions, it is not a chance that the Church, Government and Cinema, all things that produce illusions, as you do and as we do, are here. Which place better than this city, who died many times and many times was reborn, which quieter place to wait for the end by pollution, overpopulation. The ideal place to see if the world will end or not.
