Besides the popular street network of the city, Romans dedicated great attention also at the management and building of structures related to urban waters. Follow us in this water in Rome photo tour toward the discovery of these architectonic elements.
The fast growing and expansion of the city and of the Empire required the research and improvement of more basic ways to supply water to the city; this led to the evolution of the water system in the city and the creation of aqueducts and fountains. Since the very beginning of its establishment, in fact, water in Rome had an important value, responding both to practical and decorative purposes. Due to this, today its presence is impressive and can be found in small installations, like in the small fountains called Nasoni (literally big noses) for the shape of their water pipe, or in majestic plants like the aqueducts and monumental fountains.
Being both simple or much more elaborate and magnificent, Rome has always considered water as a primary element, and that explains too the great importance of the thermal baths in the city. In most of the empire, indeed, they left important proof of their massive presence, but it is in the capital city, that for a good reason is called "the city of the fountains", that they realized the most enormous and magnificent structures.
According to Romans, the civil engineering should respond to both useful and aesthetic principles related with a long-lasting and functional structure, and that's why these constructions are now a day still admirable in all their majesty. This consideration lead many directors to portray in their movies the beauties of Rome and its fountains. Among the many scenes that helped represent the value of the water for this city, one is particularly memorable: Anita Ekberg in the Fountain calling for "Marcello" in La Dolce Vita (the Sweet Life), directed by Federico Fellini in 1960.
As well as a director, being a photographer means more than simply trying to capture things, it deals more with the capture of the essence of a place, and fountains and water movements are, indeed, an important part of the roman soul. Join us in this photographic workshop and learn from a master photographer how to capture these elements in the best way. Discuss with a professional about some technical or more difficult issues and improve your skills by training on the field. Follow us, enjoy the city, experience it with an insider master photographer and learn by doing thanks to the many tips and tricks he will be able to suggest you.
The photo tour includes the workshop with the master photographer.
You can chose to book a private tour to set the workshop on your personal needs.
