The gypsies' camps on the outskirts of Florence have been denounced by writer Antonio Tabucchi as an example of lack of civilization. This claim appears even more striking if we think that Florence is the symbol of the Renaissance, meaning balance and richness, which still attracts so many tourists from all over the world. Rom Tour starts from these premises. It is an unusual live report, a tour in the camp, where the gypsies can speak out. And they clearly examine, refer, judge, reflect upon their own situation as nomads, living in a foreign land, coming from ex Jugoslavia, fled from a war and waiting for a future they can't imagine, bound to a sedentary existence, inside barriers that have been risen to separate, contain, isolate, exclude. To annihilate.
