Bring Rome’s past into your present-day surroundings. Part of the La Civiltà Romana collection, Augustus & the City of Rome Acrylic Print features an image created in 1988 by three-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro. A sculptural portrait of Augustus overlaps a sweeping Roman cityscape, with a pale blue river winding through the intricate architectural details.
Each print carries Vittorio Storaro's signature, printed with the image.
The story behind the image is as compelling as the composition. Storaro created this double exposure directly in the film camera, without Photoshop. The original film image shown in the second product photo reveals the composition already captured on film, offering a glimpse into his photographic craftsmanship.
This Roman wall art creates a thoughtful focal point above a sofa, in a study, or along an entryway. Its acrylic format pairs naturally with contemporary furnishings, while the layered imagery brings history and character into the room.
For anyone seeking ancient Rome home decor with a distinctive artistic perspective, this fine art print offers more than a city view. It’s a meeting of portraiture, place, and cinematic vision, made to be explored up close and enjoyed every day.
