“Image” Garbatella storica – next time in Rome

The IMAGE project starts with Garbatella, one of the most special and beautiful neighborhoods in Rome, of which Genovesi has portrayed both well-known and less conventional locations and highlighted the variety, architectural structures, atmosphere, and colours.
Garbatella was created around 1920 with the so-called “lotti”: small groups of housing units made up of houses and villas overlooking courtyards and gardens which were originally planted with vegetables and equipped with clothes horses, washtubs, small shops.
Architects and city planners from all over Italy and Europe study Garbatella not just for its historical value and aesthetic importance, but also for its extreme liveableness, which makes it of great relevance to contemporary urban trends.The exhibition will be housed by Libreria 3f in Via Giovanni Ansaldo, just in the heart of Garbatella, an excellent starting point for those who would like to take a walk around the “lotti” looking for the “live” version of the views and glimpses they have just admired in pictures.
