Andrea N. (ps)

Hey, sorry... I forgot to talk about the movie I'm going to use.
I was intrigued by the use of doors in "Roma Citta Aperta." Not only was there a door in practically every shot, but these doors came to symbolize many things (such as hiding, lying, acceptance, etc). I think this could tie in well to the train station since there are doors on all sides leading to the streets, as well as the many doors inside the station itself. A number of these doors are huge, and some don't even appear to be doors because they are always open to the outdoors.

Also, near track #8 is a memorial plaque in remembrance of train loads of Jews deported to camps during World War II. Thus, this could be an interesting way to tie in the moral themes of "Roma Citta Aperta" into my piece.

Furthermore, the plan of the building (as seen from above) is based on the Fascio Littorio (the symbol of Mussolini's fascist movement.) Therefore, it could be interesting to incorporate some of the capitalist criticisms featured in "Miracalo A Milano.
