L’ITALIA È UN DESIDERIO | ROMA

The exhibition “L’Italia è un desiderio” presents a wide selection of images, with over 600 works displayed in the Scuderie del Quirinale spaces in Rome, taken from the archives and collections of Alinari Foundation and Mufoco – Museum of Contemporary Photography.
Covering an extremely long time period – from the beginnings of landscape photography to the present – through a chronological succession of techniques, languages, and visions, the exhibition allows one to retrace the evolution of the ways through which Italy has been represented, appreciating its beauty and measuring its contradictions at the same time.
Through this exhibition, the landscape becomes a metaphor for social, artistic, and cultural changes that have occurred in Italy from the mid-19th century to the present day.
