Viaggio in Italia
Luigi Ghirri, Gianni Leone, Enzo Velati
Viaggio in Italia, conceived by Luigi Ghirri and published in 1984, is a milestone in contemporary Italian photography, representing the ‘manifesto’ of the Italian Landscape School from the 1980s onward. It tells the story of a generation of photographers who moved away from exotic travel, sensationalist reportage and formalist analysis to focus on the everyday Italian landscape. This shift replaced the cliché of Italy as a unique and wonderful place with an “anti-heroic, anti-mythical, everyday and non-rhetorical” image, as Gabriele Basilico noted.
The new edition is a facsimile reproduction of the first one, published by Il Quadrante of Alexandria in 1984.
Photographs by Olivo Barbieri, Gabriele Basilico, Gianantonio Battistella, Vincenzo Castella, Andrea Cavazzuti, Giovanni Chiaramonte, Mario Cresci, Vittore Fossati, Carlo Garzia, Luigi Ghirri, Guido Guidi, Shelley Hill, Mimmo Jodice, Gianni Leone, Claude Nori, Umberto Sartorello, Mario Tinelli, Ernesto Tuliozi, Fulvio Ventura, Cuchi White.
