Ostiense

Took a walking trip around a Roma neighborhood called Ostiense today. Once a city slum, this industrial region of Roma is slowly starting to develop/renovate their neighborhood and residencies. Most of the trip was spent checking out sites from a film we watched in class called 'La Fate Ingorante' or The Ignorant Fairy.

Interesting combination of sculptures and electric generators





Sweet site context
