Foreword by David Le Breton

Silent Rome sounds like an oxymoron. And yet at that time, in 2020 and 2021 lockdown, the eternal city lay stretched out, alone. In the emptiness a thousand unknown faces appeared. Palaces and squares had been seen so many times but never in their bare essentiality. Nothing useless, nothing insignificant. Everything was suddenly presented in the inexhaustible richness of simplicity and everything appeared in a new light. 'Still Rome' compiles images of a vanished, ephemeral world captured in a unique historical moment to keep it from disappearing completely, just leaving a trace of it for those who have not had the good fortune to experience a silent Rome.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
