Florence – Forte di Belvedere, Boboli gardens 2021 june 25 – october 10
I was there, I feel like saying almost with a hint of embarrassment. A sort of awe in reading one’s name among the masters of contemporary Italian photography. An honor and a privilege to find space in the story of the beauty and diversity of Italy in continuity with the historical images taken from the precious and famous archives of the Alinari brothers and alongside those of noble names that make the history of photography.
“Italiae. From Alinari to the masters of contemporary photography ”is an exhibition commissioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to tell and relaunch the value and diversity of our country after such a difficult period.
Artistic direction by Sergio Risaliti, curated by Rita Scartoni for FAF and Luca Criscenti.
We start from Florence, the inauguration in recent days, and then go around the world in a path of over twenty-five stages already planned for the next couple of years.
An arabesque of ghebi and sandbanks of that Venice Lagoon that I love so much, the texture of a Prosecco vineyard in the snow in the Cartizze area and a tricolor rainbow over the skies and sea of Jesolo. Three fragments of my homeland, Veneto, two of which are also used as cover images for the communication of the event.
