Mario Giacomelli. The photographer and the poet

On the first centenary of Mario Giacomelli's birth, Palazzo Reale is hosting a major retrospective exhibition with over 300 original photographic works including vintage and vintage prints, documents and archive materials. In an evocative narrative itinerary, built on large chronological chapters, winding through the photographic series inspired by the readings of the great poets, the exhibition celebrates the pivotal theme of photography as a narrative, structured in the language of the unconscious. The exhibition project is completed by an exhibition dedicated to the metamorphosis of matter and the performative conception of photography, which will be held at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. The aim of this unprecedented collaboration is to document and critically re-read the entire human and artistic career of one of the greatest photographers of our time.
