This is a hauntingly beautiful story of two men whose pasts collide in Rome - an artist and a professor who discover more in common than just their love of archaeology. Our Roman Pasts celebrates the allure of raw physical beauty - the elemental attraction of light, color, and form - and the carnal desire of the human body with its unique language, drawing two people inescapably together. In meeting, Julian and Bruno must face their pasts to heal and move forward. The tale is a tour de force - a penetrating exploration of sexual identity amidst iconic sites in Rome, Ostia Antica, and Capri. A feast of art, food, land, the body, and love.
