Three weeks to explore and draw Rome, the capital nicknamed “Urbs aeterna”, the eternal city. One question arose from this journey: How can we live in a thousand-year-old city? How can we protect all the treasures of an ancient city while making it feasible to remain a dynamic city in a globalised society? This dissertation is split into two parts: the first brings together a series of accounts and observations made in situ, in the form of a travel journey; the second is a typological analysis of four recurrent themes. Restaurants, the use of buildings, the art forms present and the appropriation of this city are the subjects of focus.
