'The Italian Photobook 1931-1941' by Giorgio Grillo traces the short, intense history of (photo)graphic modernism in Italy - as a medium between autonomous visual research and a 'functional' use in the often overlapping areas of advertising & propaganda.

'Cinque Viaggi. 1990-98' by Guido GUIDI contains photographs from Mailland as well as from the surrounding area. They reveal the layers of social and architectural history between which everyday life unfolds. Essays worth reading complete the photo volume

The out-of-print photo volume 'Carlo Mollino: Polaroids' contains a selection of Polaroids from the 1960s and 1970s. These are eroticized images of women, but the subject is not sex. The images were composed and staged to conquer nature with artificiality

The selection in out-of-print volume 'Rome' by Anders PETERSEN ranges from the 1980s to 2012. With his uniquely personal approach, the Swedish photographer captures the soul of the Italian capital and its inhabitants while reflecting the city's evolution.

Distortions, experiments and illusions characterize GUIDI's early work from the late 1960s and early 70s, which he further developed by introducing a 'fisheye' lens. In 'Lunario' he returns to the moon as a source of stylistic and thematic inspiration.

Out-of-print book 'Eine Reise nach Sardinien. Fotografien 1927' brings together a representative selection from the simple collection of 30 black and white photographs by the Cologne photographer and important pioneer of modern photography, August SANDER.
