THE PARENTESI
The legacy of Luigi Ghirri
Author of some of the most iconic shots in the recent history of our country, interpreter of the architecture and landscape with his gaze, Luigi Ghirri has left a mark in the figurative culture of the ’70s and ‘80s. An artistic legacy that fascinates scholars and amateurs of photography, kept by the Luigi Ghirri Archive at the Library Panizzi of Reggio Emilia.
The world of Luigi Ghirri
Adele Ghirri, one of the photographer's two daughters, committed to the protection and promotion of his artistic work, will welcome you to the Fondazione Luigi Ghirri, located in the family home in Roncocesi. She will guide you on a tour through unpublished materials, photo books, documents, and the volumes of the library.”
