“Italian Visions, 1950-2007” is a journey across Italy seen through the eyes of some of the most significant Italian photographers. The visions developed take the viewer into a unique path of real and imaginary scenes of Italy, presenting a selection of vintage and modern prints of masters of Italian photography such as Gianni Berengo Gardin and his humorous, witty views of Venice and other magnificent locations; Mario Giacomelli, with his unique, interpretation of Italy through poetry; Piergiorgio Branzi, with his superb use of very contrasted black and white; the war scenery built by Paolo Ventura, suspended between reality and fiction; the dreamy atmosphere of Lorenzo Cicconi Massi, a talented photographer and movie director.

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
