A Journey Underground
“Descending into the dark, dense air of the depths beneath the built environment. Distinguishing perfect architectural forms by the dim light of a flashlight. Realizing with surprise the human capacity to build spaces within the earth in which to bring life. To feel as though you’re journeying toward the essence of the self, free from superficial distractions. To be certain that the caves protect those who embark on that journey.” So says architect Massimo Bottini of Italia Nostra, our Virgil on this Dante-esque journey underground.
