Leunna

This prestigious exhibition space is hosting an extraordinary photographic project by Enzo Massa Micon, famous mountain photographer and the alpine landscape. The exhibition stems from the creative evolution that followed the prestigious award the artist received in 2024, when one of his photographs of the Grivola taken from Saint-Pierre was selected by the NASA such as Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD).

Edited by Daria Jorioz with the scientific collaboration of the’Aosta Valley Astronomical Observatory, the exhibition features twenty previously unpublished colour photographs centred on the allure of the Earth’s natural satellite, the Moon (known as Leunna at patois). The exhibition route celebrates the harmonious dialogue between the imposing peaks of the Aosta Valley and the astronomical sky, skilfully combining the documentary photography to exploration conceptual.

Each work is accompanied by detailed information sheets showing screenshots of the programming applications used to calculate the exact shot, with geographical coordinates, technical specifications, the names and elevations of the mountains. The event offers a unique insight into the close bond between Alpine region, photographic technique e astronomical research, accompanied by a carefully compiled bilingual catalogue featuring contributions from the researcher Andrea Bernagozzi.
