Publisher's Synopsis

In this collection, owned by Anna Rosa and Giovanni Cotroneo, we can see a rich and high-quality selection of works of art. The starting point could be the importance of faith in the reading of territory, a reading that can be done, in Italy, only through a knowledge of art history. This could probably only happen in Italy where the concept of landscape was born with Giotto's mountains and the architectural perspective of ideal cities. "Cities first and then the metropolis, are the privileged breeding ground for photography, full of new symbols that delineate modern areas of exploration. At this moment, photography is reaching the great, painful awareness of being a view suspended between different ages, a subtle perception of worlds that are only now forming" wrote Luigi Ghirri, one of the directors of this contemporary journey through Italy.
