The Magnum photography exhibition Italy and Italians in Venice

Curated by the historic Magnum agency, a fascinating Magnum photo exhibition to explore some of the nuances of Italy of today.

The Magnum photography exhibition Italy and the Italians: through the lenses of the Magnum photographers shown in Vicenza, near Venice, for one of the most evocative photo exhibits about modern Italy.

The great travelling exhibition was planned for the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy rounding the country from the Royal Palace of Turin, to Palazzo Zevallos Stigliano in Naples, Vicenza near Venice and London during the Olympics.

Included in the Culture Project, which provides a number of initiatives to enhance the cultural and artistic heritage of Italy, the Magnum photography exhibition Italy and the Italians offers a fascinating glimpse of contemporary photography, divided into various themes curated by nine top photographers of the Magnum agency.

Inspired by the experience of the Grand Tour the journey through Europe which in the past was a critical step in the formation of the more educated classes Magnum photographers have crossed Italy, creating an unprecedented report on the contemporary reality of our country, focusing on different points of view.

 

More than 400 extraordinary shots of Magnum photography to capture glimpses of the Italian reality of our times. A country where history and tradition intertwine and collide with innovation and modernity, where the ancient foundations of our cities must meet the new planning requirements and where industries create strange upheavals in uncultivated landscapes, including paradoxes and harmonies.

It is an encounter between tradition and renewal, where the environment and humans coexist among old and new: a photographic exhibition of contrasts and similarities that presents a fascinating journey through past and present, photo exhibits of Italy discussing habits, relationships, present and future, marginalization and solidarity.

The themes illustrated by Magnum photography develop in space and time.

Italy and the Italians, an exhibition to outline the delicacy and uniqueness of a country in relation to modern issues.

The themes include: Sea (Christopher Anderson an element that entirely surrounds Italy and that has continually influenced its history and existence; New Walls (Donovan Wylie) that characterizes every aspect of the cultural landscape widespread over much of Italy; Together (Richard Kalvar) sharing spaces and links between Italy; New Squares (Mikhael Subotzky) the new meeting places in Italy which have now replaced the historic venues of the past; Places of memory (Mark Power the main beauties of a country that holds the world record for artistic heritage sites that have been declared part of the World Heritage; We, the other (Bruce Gilden) looks at the Italian people marginalized in hospitals, slums and prisons; The artificial (Harry Gruyaert) in search of the precarious balance between progress and nature; Ingenuity (Alex Majoli) strength of the made in Italy that combines skills and creativity; Portraits (Paolo Pellegrin) 150 photographs of young Italians, the future of the country.

Magnum photography exhibition Italy and the Italians include all the strengths, feelings and weaknesses of Italy and on Italy today.
