Il progetto di West 8, 'Valle del desiderio', è un antidoto alla soffocante esperienza di Roma, una cura per la sua mancanza di cuore, un rimedio per il suo spirito.
È un luogo dove sperimentare molteplici, deliziose esperienze lungo il fiume Aniene; un equivalente contemporaneo degli antichi giardini segreti dove risvegliare i sensi con fantasie lussuriose.

La nuova valle, lunga più di quaranta chilometri delizierà la mente e coinvolgera sensi, seducendo l'immaginazione con il suo spirito quieto. La Valle del desiderio sarà una nuova esperienza romana da assaporare.

Hijacked city
West 8’s urban experience of Rome reaffirms one’s awe of the city, yet one is confined to a small area of congested centre which pumps visitors through its veins like an overexerted body with an ageing heart. Its beauty, its ultimate richness leaves one exhausted, breathless and depressed. It is a city hijacked by its symbols. Visitors are kept hostage by the centre, surrounded by faceless periphery, and longing for a relief from stifling heat and endless crowds.


Valley of Desire
The project of West 8, ‘Valley of Desire’, is an antidote to the suffocating experience of Rome, a cure for its failing heart, a remedy for its spirit. It’s a place of multiple delightful experiences along the river Aniene; a contemporary equivalent of the old lust gardens for fantasies and awakened senses! Over forty kilometres long the new valley will delight the mind and engage the senses, seducing the imagination with its unabashed spirit. Valley of Desire will be a new Roman experience to savour.


Movement
To breathe in fresh air and to experience the valley in all its variety, there are special wooden bicycles and vespas available at multiple points along the journey between the Colosseum and Villa d' Este. Guided by the sound of the water and inspired by the light reflected, one will travel through the valley discovering the spaces and shedding the inhibitions of the city.
