    the essence of my experience

    the construction of the Death Trap coliseum was a unique experience : it was like a magic potion where all the ingredients were present at the right time at the right place . Now I am sure : it was a magic ! Now the Colosseo Death Trap is a reality. I thank in particular the director Gary Glasman and Pascal Cuissot (producers) , Chiara Messineo (location producer) , my co-designer Giovanni Squillacioti and all the friends of this beautiful adventure. The biggest challenge was to mentally undress of current technology and find that with much less sophisticated tools the ancient Romans were able to make products with the same precision and finishing. And above all, they had the trained mind to invent ingenious solutions while we, finding many ready-made products , we are losing this important mental training.
