Roses in close up: Colour Music Poetry

Strolling through the Municipal Rose Gardens in Rome, the camera lingers on the parts of a flower which have enhanced its superior beauty and visual impact. The sequence of frames records a dynamic image, forcing the photographer to use only one image, or better still, one model, for his photographs - the rose - portraying different shapes and colours. This selection showcases poems and operas that sublimate the features of the protagonist in order to elevate the latter to a higher, heavenly dimension.
