LUISS's Secret Societies?
I'm heading to the Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli, or LUISS as everyone calls it, next semester. Heard whispers about some pretty intense student societies there –… more
Honestly, I've never heard of secret societies at LUISS, but Rome's got a lot of hidden stuff going on, so who knows? Maybe it's just a legend built up by overly dramatic first-years. The graffiti thing... yeah, that's probably just standard student shenanigans. Try joining a few different clubs, see what vibes with you. Worst-case scenario, you end up meeting some cool people and learn about Italian politics instead of uncovering some ancient Roman conspiracy. You'll be fine. Just don't drink anything questionable offered by someone in a toga.
Haha, yeah, you're probably right. Overly dramatic first years is a pretty good explanation. I guess I got a bit carried away with the whole "secret society" idea.

Early morning, before the midday sun really blasts it, is your best bet. The light's softer then, and you'll get less harsh shadows inside. Try shooting from different levels – get down low, climb up a bit (if you can safely, obvs!), to get varied perspectives. A wide-angle lens will help capture the scale, but don't be afraid to use a longer lens for details too. And honestly? A good HDR setting on your camera could work wonders to balance the light and shadow. Think about using a tripod for sharper shots, especially in low light. Good luck! Hope your photos are amazeballs.
