At the end of an evening in the Appian Way Park in which I attended an outdoor screening of a neo-realist movie (Mario Monicelli's Cops and Robbers) I found myself walking along the street until I came across this small trattoria that sets up a few tables right on the ancient Roman basalt. I timidly began to take pictures of the diners and then found myself dining and drinking wine with them, right on the 2000-year-old stones. It got dark and around midnight I took this portrait of Giovanni who lives a few steps away. Suddenly the scenes of the movie I had just watched were in front of me. - The few tables of the historic trattoria "Qui nun se more mai" ("Here we never die") are placed directly on the ancient paving stones. The director Federico Fellini was one of the affectionate patrons of the restaurant now run by the two brothers Armando and Erminio.
