The book of a leading figure of Italian photography, his two hundred and sixty-third, with a hundred and twenty previously unseen images. A photographer since 1954, with seventy years of work behind him, Gianni Berengo Gardin was among the most representative interpreters of the Italian and international scene. As happened with the authors of the silver-salt age, when photographing meant keeping the negatives and choosing on a contact sheet the one picture that seemed at that moment the right one to publish, a great archive like his still holds many hidden treasures. So, through careful selection, a set of new pictures has now surfaced that had never been seen before: photographs left behind at the time, buried under others or simply passed over at that moment. The book presents them to the public for the first time, arranged in two acts, with photographs that range from social enquiry to daily life.
