On this page you will find photos taken in Berlin and in Rome…sometimes history is told to us on the street and very effectively.

In 2009 Berlin will celebrate 20 years from the fall of the wall. It will be an interesting year…looking forward to seeing more history on the streets…

In Schoeneberg, Berlin, the lamp-posts remind everybody that “getting used to it” is the supreme danger and starts the descent to indifference.

In Pigneto, Rome, if you look up you can read the story and the fate of some of its citizens who fought during the Resistenza.

Remembering the crude facts, writing them on black and white for everybody to see, is the first antidote to the manipulation of history.

You never know what can happen to history books…
