Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes

  • Piazza del Duomo, Siena
    The stunningly-beautiful Piazza del Duomo is one of two extraordinary piazze in Siena, Italy - this one hosts the city's magnificent Duomo, and is both a major thoroughfare and a magnet for the city's tourists. Recorded by Cities and Memory, August 2021.

  • Via Vincenzo Gioberti, Florence
    Soundscape from Via Vincenzo Gioberti, Florence, Italy. 

    Florence is not only a city centre with countryside surrounding it, but there are also many other areas to be explored. These places do not only offer original and unexpected points of interest for art lovers, but they also have a kaleidoscope of sounds that really tell you something about life in Florence. Abandon yourself in a soundwalk through Isolotto and San Frediano, with their veracious people; among the elegant XIX century buildings just outside the centre; through Campo di Marte, where sporting events are held; or in the small country villages still belonging to the city municipality, like Galluzzo, Settignano and Serpiolle. You will find the true soul of a city that did not stop living in the Renaissance, but still breathes and sounds today.

  • Piazza Dalmazia, Florence
    Soundscape from Piazza Dalmazia, Florence, Italy. 

    In every corner of the city there is a market at least once a week. Ostensibly they look very similar, but each one has its own features, according to the zone of the city in which it is held. You can guess the typical inhabitant of every area by listening to the voices and the way the customers approach to their local market. Moreover, some markets attract people from all over the city, like the one held in Cascine park on Tuesdays or the monthly antique market of Vittorio Veneto.
