Riso 02 – San Lorenzo is a collective project made by more than 60 students together. A mosaic of looks, points of view and short visual narratives about the visual identity of a neighborhood in Rome: San Lorenzo. Given its location near Rome’s central station, freight yard and monumental cemetery, this area was once populated by railroad workers, deliverymen and marble artisans and is now a university area. A symbol of resistance to fascism in Rome, heavily bombed during World War II, San Lorenzo experiences many conflicts today, but it is also culturally fertile and lively territory. The volume, printed entirely in risograph, presents and narrates the neighborhood with the still visible traces of its past and the rapidly changing present.
“Riso 02 – San Lorenzo” won the Bronze Award in the ‘Student’s project’ category during the European Design Awards 2020.
San Lorenzo
ultimo baluardo
di spontaneità
se vivo se muoro
è qui
Un quartiere che sta
piano piano morendo
perché soffocato da
locali con interessi
vari ma manca il gusto
della vita semplice
popolare che si viveva negli anni 60’_
