CITYSCAPES: A Digital Museum of Rome's Collective Memory

Valeriana Berchicci, an artist born in Termoli in 1987, has developed CITYSCAPES – Museo Digitale della Memoria, a digital representation of Rome's essence, drawing from the memories of residents in Torpignattara, Tor Bella Monaca, Corviale, and Trullo. This initiative, funded by "Lazio Contemporaneo, 2020," was created in collaboration with CAP – Cities Art Projects and under the patronage of ARTER. Curated by Benedetta Carpi De Resmini, it aims to bridge the gap between the center and the outskirts. Berchicci utilized a 19th-century newsstand kiosk for storytelling and conducted workshops. An interactive platform (cityscapesroma.it) invites users to explore and share audio contributions. In November, the project reached the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma, with a catalog set to launch in spring.
