During the years between 1987 and 1991 I visited Berlin many
times. I must admit that during those years the Berlin Wall was so attractive
to me; the world was divided in two blocks deeply opposed, and Berlin was surely
a symbol of the old world order, "cut" by the Wall which used to divide
the city in two parts, one under western and the other under the russian influence.
Here there are some pictures I shot during those years, and these picture shows
the change between the old divided Berlin and the new Berlin which is going
to be the new capital of the united Germany.
