Gianni Berengo Gardin
The visionary and creative shots of day-to-day reality by a child of our time. Considered by many the most representative of Italian photographers, for almost fifty years Gianni Berengo Gardin has been a narrator attentive to everyday life in all its multiple aspects and in its evolution, having immortalized the story of Italy in over 1,250,000 pictures. For his work, he prefers black and white because "color distracts the photographer and the viewer." And the images are what counts. People, objects, close-ups, historical monuments. Images that are concrete, never abstract, but above all real images. It’s hard not to perceive the creative and visionary component of his snapshots, however much they are attentive to the day-to-day reality of humanity and its communities.
Italians
Considered by many to be the most prominent Italian photographer of the post-war era, Gianni Berengo Gardin possesses a passion for and curiosity about his subjects that shines through this luminous collection of his best images from the past half century. His fascination with Italy extends to all corners -- the north and south, rich and poor, young and old, privileged and working class, rural and industrial, cultural and political -- as he attempts to capture for posterity life's fleeting, unforgettable moments. Whether he's recording a somber military display through Rome's streets, the brief nuisance of a passing shower, a schoolboy's penetrating gaze, or a new bride's private joy, Gardin uses his camera to tell a story. Presented chronologically, the more than four hundred black and white images combine to offer a unique record of modern Italian life: its joys and sorrows, its large celebrations and small victories, its extraordinary events and everyday miracles.
Venice - Caffe Florian
A photographic portrait of the oldest coffeehouse in Italy. Caffe Florian in St. Mark's Square has always been the high-society "drawing room" of Venice. And Gianni Berengo Gardin, an adoptive Venetian, has always had close ties with the city where he began his career. This book is the result of his photographing a week in the life of the historic cafe which boasts habitues from the past such as Casanova and Byron. Berengo Gardin has sat in his usual discreet fashion on the plush small red divans in Florian's and captured around forty timeless moments from everyday life. The black-and-white images provide a wonderful insight into the reality of Florian's, which is about to celebrate three hundred years of glorious social life. In fact, the cafe was opened under the Procuratie Nuove by Floriano Francesconi in 1720. Now a major photographer has prepared a magnificent birthday gift for a place that has seen centuries of history.
