Essay by Roberto D'Agostino
The first book by the Roman photographer Dino Ignani, a selection from his archive of the young people who lit up Rome's night life in the early 1980s, especially around the so-called dark universe. The dark community gathered the musical tendencies and the fashion of those years, from post-punk to new romantic to gothic. The pictures were shot in video bars, discos and other venues, among them Olimpo, Supersonic, Angelo Azzurro, Piper and Cinema Espero, where Ignani invited the regulars to pose. With an essay by Roberto D'Agostino.
