What is considered modern in Rome? -- The ancient atmosphere beyond the old city walls fades away. Inhabited by workers and immigrants, the suburbs are more like the world of Pasolini's characters, such as Mamma Roma or the Accattone. Manufactured in 1926, unit 426 of the Rome-Giardinetti railway may not have been considered modern even in Pasolini's time, but the question remains: what is considered modern in Rome? Perhaps nothing, but as can be seen, time holds no significance in Rome. -- Rome (it), Via Casiliana, 6 March 2025, 14:57 CET
