Happy birthday, Rome! 
You’ll survive even this dark times, as You did countless times before.

Got to homage the classic #EttoreVitale iconic #carnation poster for the celebrations of #25Aprile 1982, by Partito Socialista Italiano.
The original poster, swipe for it, is still so good I felt I could only, humbly, walk closely on his footprints.
Happy Liberation Day, fellow italians, stay strong as our grandparents did. 🇮🇹

Between the current, pressing, deadlines i’ve managed to design the small label for the #ghostsofrome project, to be applied on the marbled paper folders which will collect the seven prints.
Latin inscription below the she-wolf, symbol of Rome, means “The tears of men cannot bring the dead back from the darkness”. The couple of #skulls below her are an obvious nod to Romolus and Remus.
Next is a #wip shot of the process. 🐺 💀💀

Got some quarantined extra-time to work on a personal project after a while, getting back to my roman #ghosts after years.
-
The new character of my #ghostsofrome project is Valeria #Messalina .
Third wife of Emperor Claudius, sentenced to death by him because of cheating on him and after an increasing spiral of political hatred due to her plots and commissioned killings. The hatred on her was so big that the rumors and gossips they originated about her conduct made her name synonymous of depravation and amorality, still to this day. Stabbed at the throat by an Emperor’s emissary while she was hiding in the Lucullo’s gardens, her desperate ghost still wanders in those places, today part of Villa Medici’s gardens.

Background of this is inspired by one of the villa’s views painted during the 17th century by the great #Velazquez 🏛👻
