This project is an experiment that confirms the idea of the importance of the architectural monuments with the surrounding landscape. It is based on the depictions of XV-XX centuries' architectural monuments built in Russia by Italian and Russian architects who worked in the Italian style (Aristotele Fioravante, Anton Fryazin, Marco Ruffo, De Karkano, Aleviz Novyi, Pietro Solari, Bon Frayzin, Petrok malyi, M. Fontana, A. Kavos, G. Quarengi, F. Camporesi, O. Bove, D. Gigliardi, A. Gigliardi, M.F. Kazakov, I. Monighetti, I.I. Joltovskyi, A.R. Tamanian).

Each object consists of two parts:
1. Original photograph of the monument /all of them are obtained from the State Historical Museum/.
2. Using new media computer technologies, these monuments are virtually transferred into different surroundings, such as landscapes of Italy, taken form Italian paintings from the same time.

The importance of a landscape for Russian architects is well known.
They were under a great influence of Italian masters. They were putting architecture in Palladian style, into the Russian landscape, adapting it to Middle Russia, even though it has little in common with Italy.
It is typical for Russian culture in general.
Virtual shift of these monuments into Italian nostalgic surroundings, historically relative landscape, will show them in a different context and help to see them in a new way.
For historians of architecture it may present a completely new way, new material for understanding an interpretation of Italian architecture by masters who used to work in Russia.
Undoubtedly, these objects must have an artistic value. They are pieces of art created using computer based technologies /so called new media/
Being absolutely new, and having no analogies, they bound to attract both art lovers and professionals.
