ROMEpills is the theme of a research undertaken by students of the E. Montale State High School in Rome (between 16 and 17 years old) designed to contribute to the protection of the artistic and environmental heritage of the city of Rome.

The students were asked to create short video spots lasting a maximum of 2 minutes, through which they describe the main monuments of ancient Rome and the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque ones.

The videos are intended for an audience of young visitors to the city from all over the world. The aim of the research is to make people understand the historical importance of these monuments and avoid forms of damage which unfortunately have occurred more and more frequently in recent years.

The ROMEpills videos, designed for dissemination through the main social media, had to be shot 'on site', in a language other than Italian and with simple and effective language so as to fascinate the public and possibly not bore them.
