When birds darken the sky of Rome

Every winter, thousands of starlings migrate to Rome from northern Europe, forming huge flocks that look like living clouds at sunset. 

• They move for the city’s mild climate.
• They fly in perfect synchrony, creating mesmerizing figures.
• Although it is a beautiful sight, they leave streets slippery with their droppings.
• The authorities try to scare them away without much success.

An aerial dance that blends beauty, chaos, and the power of nature in the heart of Rome.
