With over fifty personal exhibitions and a hundred published volumes, Gianni Berengo Gardin is now one of the major personalities of international photography.

The quality of his work has received recognition from the most prestigious critics. He was in fact cited, as the only photographer, by EG Gombrich in his book The image and the Eye (Oxford 1982) and by Italo Zannier in his History of Italian photography (Bari 1987) as “the most notable photographer of the post-war period”.

Cecil Beaton included him in the exhibition he organized in 1975, dedicated to the geniuses of photography from 1839 to today. Over the years he has collaborated with the major national and international newspapers (Domus, Epoca, L’Espresso, Time, Stern, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Du, Le F**aro etc.). Berengo Gardin’s work arises from the desire to convey objective reality. He began his photographic reportage on Sardinia in the 1950s: faces, smiles, people, gestures captured in moments of everyday life, in work times, in festive rituals. He deepened it at the end of the 1960s, and completed it in 2006 with new details, portraits, expressions.

The exhibition was created in collaboration with Imago Multimedia.
