Jenny Holzer (right, foreground) projected on the Theater of Marcellus last night. Cars and motorini stopped and tour buses full of travellers pulled over to see texts by modern writers like Yehuda Amichai, Antonella anedda, Paolo Bertolani, Elizabeth Bishop, Patrizia Cavalli, Henri cole, Mahmoud Darwish, Eugenio Montale, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Amerlia Rosselli and Wislawa Szymborska scroll across the two-thousand year old theater built by Julius Caesar.
The texts scrolled across the modern ramp that leads down to the ancient pavement surrounding the theater before climbing up the facade and across the arched entries.
