About the author

American architect Tom Rankin has lived in Rome, practicing architecture and teaching, since 1991. He received his Master’s in Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, a BA in Architecture at Princeton, and a “Laurea” in Architecture at Università di Roma ‘La Sapienza.’  Through the creation of the cultural association Scala Reale, (absorbed by Context Travel) he was among the first to propose a sustainable alternative to commercial tourism in Italy’s capital and as a lecturer for various study-abroad programs he continues to promote intelligent travel experiences for discerning visitors to Italy.

The group that brought rap and hiphop to Italy in The group that brought rap and hiphop to Italy in 1990 is still going strong! I saw them in Venice at at laboratorio morion last year but this pop up concert in Terracina’s historic center was a surprise. Assalti Frontali is a poetic and inspiring voice of resistance shouted over a back beat hard to resist dancing to. #romameticcia I got a great tshirt too and a selfie with militant A!
