come se

just in case you are interested...

Last Friday (March 14) the gallery “come se” opened in Rome. This is a new gallery dedicated to architecture. The inaugural exhibit is called Fifteen Roman Architects, new challenges for the City of tomorrow, and project invites a new generation of architects to the dialogue, and gives them an opportunity to present their perspective, ideas, and research. This exhibit confronts the issues of “the city of tomorrow,” including the issues need to be addressed, and examines city planning from the perspective of an increasingly global viewpoint. A vast range of experiments, innovations and achievements will be presented, which have affected both the city of Rome and other metropolitan areas throughout the world. If you want to get a glimpse of what a new generation of architects is envisioning for the city of Rome, this is your chance.

Roma's Dancing Donatella and Designer Labels
What do you get when you place Rome's infamous 'Dancing Lady' (whom we have dubbed 'Donatella') adjacent to the world of Designer Fashion, as it is embodied within the 'Logo' (both Fake and Authentic)?
