Romae is a photographic journey through the history and myth of Rome, the Eternal City. Marcello Di Donato’s images invite viewers to rediscover the magic of the Italian capital, revealing its enduring influence on art, culture, and imagination.
Each photograph captures the city’s timeless beauty, from the grandeur of ancient imperial Rome to its contemporary character, highlighting details that evoke mysticism, spirituality, and classical aesthetic ideals. Rome’s dual identity – as the heart of ancient civilization and a symbol of Christianity – emerges through images that reflect a longing for the divine and a pursuit of perfection.
A subtle purplish-red glow imbues the photographs, symbolizing human passion, love, and desire, while the exhibition as a whole guides visitors on an emotional journey. Di Donato’s lens connects the city’s physical presence with its symbolic resonance, drawing links between photography, cinema, painting, architecture, and literature – showing how Rome continues to inspire the imagination across time.
