The project

For Roma Capodarte 2025, Field A1, in collaboration with Dinamica Studio, created Echi di Roma, a projection mapping installation that turned the Pyramid of Cestius into a dynamic canvas. From 6 p.m. to midnight on January 1, 2025, plays of light and imagery animated the ancient monument, merging past and present to celebrate the start of the Holy Year in the Eternal City.

The event highlighted Rome's many-sided nature, its multiculturalism, and its historic role as a crossroads of cultures, ideas, and arts. Echi di Roma offered residents and visitors an immersive experience, evoking millennia of history and carrying a message of good fortune for the new year.
