If photography has an Italian master and a poetic chronicler, it is undoubtedly Gianni Berengo Gardin. The fruit of fifty years' work and travels in Italy and around the world, his photographs, exhibited and preserved in numerous museums, are a unique testimony to our times, always imbued with a profound humanism. Gianni Berengo Gardin's vision ranges from famous views of Venice and Italy to psychiatric asylums, gypsy communities and post-war society. Illuminated by three interviews with the photographer, this retrospective book brings together 250 photographs, a true account of a lifetime.
