Synopsis
The Colosseum Archaeological Park is a natural habitat for wild animals, who have turned it into an ecosystem that is absolutely unique. The hill on which Rome was founded and the valley below represent an ecological niche for birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, insects, rodents, and invertebrates. They offer us a fresh perspective on the bond between humanity and nature.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
We wanted to show a world-famous location, one of inestimable historical and archaeological importance, from a radically new vantage point: that of a natural habitat that is not easy to glimpse. It’s hidden from tourists’ eyes and often from our own imagination, dominated as it is by the classical idea of large monuments to be visited and admired mostly for their cultural and symbolic value.
