  • Since Middle Ages until the first days of the twentieth century, the Roman cityscape has been represented mostlyin a fragmentary way. The article identifies the fragmented iconography of Rome’s postmodernity from its artisticand cinematic representation, prioritizing the influence of Fellini’s cinematic cityscape. Taking this a marker of theabstraction and fragmentation of the city, we will analyze some key instances of contemporary Italian cinema, bearingwitness to the final remaining means of interaction with the city: a desperate flâneurism among the dissolving urbanpalimpsest.
