“Explode a hole in the wall, and pass through it”, I thought to myself as I had to go around the Colosseum to get to the Prati neighbourhood in my taxi. It was the 27th of September 2017, and I was heading to Basement Roma for the first time. It was the day of my birthday as well as the day of my soft-move to Rome. At the time, my mantra was still “keep moving, no matter what” (stillness was not something to be desired yet). It was on that same day that I started developing ambiguous feelings towards the city’s archaeological barriers: the thick Roman walls, the Fori Imperiali, the Colosseum and their symbolic legacy of apparent inactivity. “Why can’t they keep living – why can’t we run through the ruins?”
