It takes a Roman to know a Roman. Writer Valerio Mattioli can tell you everything about the Eternal City’s underground scene. Touching on musicology, occultism and popular culture, he searches for the urban sounds that reverberate in the architecture and Roman citizens.
Vincent offers a different image of Rome, by exploring the cybernetic techno-scene of the nineties, Pasolini, street slangs, and comics. Be ready to hop on the Grande Raccordo Anulare with Valerio, he takes you through the motorway ring that encircles the metropolis. In conversation with Giulia Crispiani for Extra Extra, Valerio tells us about the legendary founding of Rome, characters of dystopian fictions, and the Virus scene of Italian electronica.
