Rome in the World

How does Rome compare to other cities around the world? Is it bigger or smaller, more cohesive or more fragmented than Paris, London, or Istanbul? Is it cleaner or more congested?

Is it more livable and accessible than New York, Berlin, or Beijing? What place does it occupy in the global imagination? What is Rome's DNA?

Published on the occasion of the exhibition Rome in the World , the volume explores the city from a global perspective, considering its built environment, cultural resonance, and its spatial, social, and environmental DNA. It recounts both the lived and lesser-known aspects of the city through the visual representation of the data that delineate it, offering a journey through its unique landscapes through the photographic commission entrusted by MAXXI to Marina Caneve.
