Roberto Conte's photography focuses on the Nuovo Foro Boario in Padova, Italy, a building designed by architect Giuseppe Davanzo and completed in the late 1960s. Once a bustling cattle market, the structure now sits mostly abandoned, showcasing modernist architectural elements that have deteriorated over time. Conte’s images portray the geometric design and layered history of the site, capturing both the decay of materials and the influence of nature reclaiming the space. The building represents a significant post-war architectural effort, utilizing a 10x10 meter grid and prefabricated components, making it a noteworthy example of Italy's modernist movement.
