Terribilia was the nickname of the italian architect of the late-Renaissance period who developed the project for The Archiginnasio of Bologna, an eclectic meeting point for different subjects. The goal of this work is to capture - combining on one hand Tarkovskij's mysticism and De Chirico's metaphysics on the other - the spirit of the place: its genius loci, which is - according to the nickname of his creator - terrible and sublime at the same time.
