Where i am

The Last ARTICHOKEE

My laboratory is located in the heart of Rome in CAMPO DE’ FIORI, between Piazza Venezia and Piazza Navona.

This unique endeavor combines the vibrant spirit of Agro Pop Art with the agricultural heritage deeply rooted in the city history.

Rome, renowned for its rich history and cultural significance, has a long-standing connection with the artichoke. The artichoke holds a special place in Roman cuisine and has become an iconic symbol of the city’s gastronomic tradition. This connection can be traced back to ancient times when the artichoke was first introduced to Rome.During the Roman Empire, the artichoke was valued for its medicinal properties and was cultivated in the lush countryside surrounding the city.

Over the centuries, the artichoke gradually transitioned from being a functional vegetable to a culinary delicacy, adored by locals and visitors alike.

Campo de’ Fiori, the vibrant square where the art laboratory is situated, has its own historical significance. Translated as “Field of Flowers,” Campo de’ Fiori has been a bustling marketplace since the Middle Ages. It has served as a gathering place for farmers, artisans, and traders, establishing a strong connection to the agricultural roots of Rome.

By choosing Campo de’ Fiori as the location for my agro pop art laboratory, i pay homage to the historical context of the artichoke in Rome. This choice not only celebrates the enduring culinary tradition but also serves as a reminder of the cultural and agricultural heritage that has shaped the city.
