Palmyras Triumphal Arch (Gate of Palmyra) Piazza della Signoria Florence, April 2017 At the centre of Palmyra is a spectacular colonnaded street. This thoroughfare interconnects with smaller side streets of similar style, linking together the citys temples and major public buildings. At the middle of it there was Palmyras Triumphal Arch, or gate of Palmyra as it is known by the Syrian people. This Roman archway was one of the most beautiful of the many notable monuments in the ancient city, built in the third century CE by Septimius Severus. In the late summer of 2015, the arch, together with a number of other important structures on the site, was reduced to rubble by extremists who had occupied the ancient city since the spring. The Institute for Digital Archaeology was, at that time, in the early stages of a documentation and cultural heritage protection project in collaboration with the people of the region. Plans were made to create a large scale reconstruction of one of the

�Living-Space� by Fat Heat and Bea P�ntya, 2016 Arany Janos utca Budapest, September 2017 �While walking around in Budapest�s 5. district you might stumble upon a strange building between the usual gray ones. This 28 meter giant, standing on its wooden legs gives a curious look from it�s windows to the people walking by on the streets. The mural is the creation Fat Heat and Bea P�ntya, and it was executed within this years Colourful City Budapest festival. But it�s not just an other mural, it really can come alive.

So now all you have to do to reanimate it, is to walk there, have your smartphone with you, download and launch the LARA application and turn your phone against the wall.� ( Living-Space , Fat Heat)

Il Genio della Vittoria (The Genius of Victory) by Urbano Lucchesi, 1897 Piazza XX Settembre Lucca, October 2017 �The last civic monument by Urbano Lucchesi dedicated to the Fallen in the Battles for the Fatherland and in particular to the date of the capture of Rome because, to use the words of Antonio Mordini, �history has no finer date than 20 September�. The convincing allegory of the Winged Genius, rising above the imposing monument to the Fallen in the Battles for the Fatherland in piazza XX Settembre in Lucca, was particularly appreciated for its ideological and political value: �that figure which from the top of the grotesque pyramid, surmounted with live ivy, extends its right arm in the gesture of offering a votive crown to be placed on the altar, which recalls the memorable event which sealed the Unity of Italy in the Eternal City and consecrated the triumph of freedom over theocratic and imperial despotism, is felt with vigour and, if the harshness of some of its parts is r
