Details of the Unseen is the photographic project by Luigi Vurro.

Here the photographer explores the hidden life of Rome’s stone and metal. Through close observation, fragments of statues, veins, eyes, and marble textures emerge as living surfaces, echoes of time revealed by light. The camera becomes a magnifying glass for wonder, transforming what is monumental into something intimate and new. Between shadow and reflection, ancient bodies speak again, bridging the distance between the visible and the invisible.
