An emotional look at the Eternal City
No vuelvas a Roma [Don’t Come Back to Rome] is a personal account of the universal city, written in images and illustrated with words. After living in the center of Rome in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, for ten years in total, Carlos Spottorno returns, despite the warnings of his local friends, who assure him that the city is worse than ever. However, nostalgia for his own youth and fascination with the immeasurable beauty of Roman streets become a balm for him after the inevitable clash with a thousands-of-years-old metropolis that has spent so much time dying that we’ve ended up declaring it eternal. Another dialing up of the genre of photonarrative by the coauthor of La grieta and La falla, but this time working alone. A book of emotions, a reflection on life.
