Interests: ancient civilizations, understanding how our ancestor lived, Italian food, Italian culture
This project was a way for me to delve into my interests in ancient culture and the experiences of the members of those long dead civilizations. Rome has always captured my imagination probably because of my Italian heritage and Roman-Catholic upbringing. I first saw Roman ruins when I was seven years old and my family went to Europe to visit family. I was captured by the complexity of the civilization that now was no longer and wanted to know how people lived in that empire so many years ago. This project gave me the chance to led my imagination fun free and imagine how people interacted with space in ancient Rome.
