Popvlvsque Gildo Photograph by Carlo Matteo Golia & Pietro de Tilla

Part of the 10-piece limited series Popvlvsqve, this photograph captures a man named Gildo dressed as a centurion and busy posing for tourists upon payment. Immediately evoking Rome's glorious past and the history-themed colossal shot in Cinecittà Studios, the photographer also invites one to reflect on the mutual exploitation that characterizes the centurion/tourists interaction.
