Romito and the Stalker group are involved in mapping Rome and its periphery and is also working in the city regions of Milan, Naples, Turnin, Berlin, Orleans, and Paris.  They are interested in striking new paths through and around urban areas, travelling through abandoned zones and linking areas of cities heretofor thought unconnected.
