Out-of-print Photo volume 'Dovere di Cronaca. The Duty to Report' by Letizia BATTAGLIA shows what happened in Sicily in the late 1970s to the early 1980s: a war that the Italian photographer, together with Franco Zecchin, captured without heroic ambitions

'Fastidiosa' by CAIMI & PICCINNI is the result of 6 years of photojournalism by the duo on the plight of local farmers and environmental degradation in the Puglia region of southern Italy. A very personal and intense account of the Xylella plant epidemic.

For the photo book 'Forcella', the photographers CAIMI & PICCINNI examined the oldest and smallest city district of Naples, Forcella. The black and white photos show life in the area that has been forgotten by the state and ruled by poverty & the Camorra.

The photo book 'Güle Güle' by CAIMI & PICCINNI portrays the constantly changing metropolis of Istanbul and its inhabitants. The color photos were created from the experience with the Turkish mentality as well as visually striking, unexpected situations.

After the city of Naples, Valentina PICCINNI & Jean-Marc CAIMI are now exploring their hometown, Rome. They looked for their own vision and created an idiosyncratic, mysterious & abysmal b/w portrait that is reminiscent of films by Visconti and Fellini.

The idea of a discontinuity between neighboring human space systems. Through the mixture of text, poetry and real photos, Italian photographers Piergiorgio CASOTTI & Emanuele BRUTTI try to arouse the feeling of anomaly and a strange feeling in the viewer.

The photo volume 'Eggs and Asperagus' by Marcello GALVANI is not a factual documentation of the place Massalombarda. It is a diary, a memory box, where important meanings - not public and general, but private and esoteric - are contained.

In 'Italia in Miniatura', images by Luigi GHIRRI show scale models of Italy's most important natural & architectural landmarks, placed in surreal proximity to one another in a theme park. The photos themselves reflect the processes of their representation

'Colazione sull’ Erba' by Luigi GHIRRI is the result of a project made between 1972-74 on the outskirts of Modena. His focus was the juncture of nature and artifice in the man-made environment. This early work is a signpost to directions of his later work

Published in 2012, 'Kodachrome' by prominent Italian photographer Luigi GHIRRI is a facsimile edition of his 1978 photobook debut, a manifesto for photography and a milestone in a remarkable body of work about preserving our ability to see.

'Works from the 1970s' accompanied an exhibition focused on the most creative period of Luigi GHIRRI. It shows the external and internal world, the relationship between reality and metaphysical duality, and the distance between reality and representation.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Italian photographer Luigi GHIRRI pursued a project characterized by empathy for the changing everyday spaces of his time. During his short career he created a large number of color photographs as well as influential essays.

The images shown in this volume, 'Puglia. Tra Albe e Tramonti', reveal relationship of Luigi GHIRRI with the Puglia region. Mostly little known and unpublished, they capture textures of urban life and delight with visual coincidences and tactile details.

The book 'Verso Nord' is the result of a collaboration between Guido GUIDI & Gerry JOHANSSON during a campaign in Castelfranco. The former focused on the historic city center with his large format camera and the latter on the suburbs in his medium format.

'A New Map of Italy' by Guido GUIDI focuses on spontaneous suburban architecture in order to draw a complex and layered portrait. Picture by picture the illusions of a 'Bella Italia' give way to the other, more precarious, more realistic face of Italy.

The images in 'Di sguincio' by Guido GUIDI represent experimental dialogues between him and his 35mm camera. Antidocuments & anachronistic records comment ironically on photography's claim to truth showing his preoccupation with the medium's possibilities

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.
