Italian Street Artist and muralist Alice Pasquini goes to the grotto in a former Roman aquarium for her new installation called “Cave of Tales”. Joining a list of artists who have previously painted these underground hallways of the Casa dell’Architettura the including Lucamaleonte, Diamond, Omino71, and Mr. Klevra, Ms. Pasquini takes you through the echoing chambers with dark stories of glistening streets and night lights and dripping paint.
