Back in 1988, my friend Moreno Maggi was in charge of international transport. Together we had opened a branch of Fortune in New York and together we managed shipments of goods between Italy and the United States. His office was on the 89th floor of World Trade Center one and this is what you could see from one of the windows

that over there is the “Statue of Liberty” and, yes, you got it right: this is one of the windows through which, in 2001, an airplane entered, destroying the whole skyscraper. Fortunately Moreno had already decided for some time that the world of transport and shipping did not satisfy him: he dreamed of becoming a photographer, a great photographer. So in the early 90s he left New York and returned to Italy with his dream in his drawer. And he began to photograph: above all monuments, houses, residences, theatres, hotels; in short, he became a true expert in architectural photography.
Nowadays: a unique photographic exhibition of its kind. First, because the photographer is a great artist of our time (he is the one: Moreno Maggi) and then because the photos were taken during the lockdown, when there was absolutely nobody around. A deserted Rome, as never seen before. Beautiful precisely because of the lack of any human presence, perhaps to highlight the difference (for the better) of a world made up of absence. All the photos are also projected outdoors on Palazzo Venezia. In short, go and see it: entry… is free. Like all the most beautiful things!
If you visit Italy, this is a must see in Rome!
