High flags are waving in front of a sky background. A well known car brand and the logo of its importer can be seen on them. The wind is changing its direction and power. From far away we can listen to a workers protest through loudspeakers, as well as the passionate speech of the leader.

Small fragments of glass, from a crumbled windscreen of a car, spread onto the pavement, with the street at the background.

On the picture a group of American tourists discusses the capacity of the ancient theatre, while a hand with a trowel removes quickly but carefully, a chewing gum stuck on the marble. The shadow of a tourist taking pictures of his friends can be seen in the picture.
