Dark Rome is a book that brings together Dino Ignani's 'Dark Portraits' series, featuring around 200 photographs culled from a collection around twice that number he captured over a five year period . These evocative portraits from the period 1982 to 1985 vividly capture the essence of 1980s Rome, particularly the vibrant subculture of the city's Dark scene, a street culture that leaned heavily into the colour black and emergent goth stylings. Ignani’s work offers a unique glimpse into the club culture of the time, showcasing a scene that was both diverse and multifaceted, reflecting the breadth of aesthetic and individual expressions that seamlessly merged with other contemporary moods and fashions.
