Genius Loci
The time of the Roman Empire the Genius Loci was linked to the territory, to the city, or even to a grove or spring. In the modern world, the genius loci is that quality, that indefinable but very clear spirit that distinguishes a place. The feeling, upon entering a place, can be felt vividly as a sort of distinctive mark of that place.
«A place is never just that place. We are a little bit of that place. Somehow, without knowing it, we carried it inside ... and one day by chance we got there. "
Written by (Antonio Tabucchi)
