The new world that is taking shape demands to be explored by a wide range of artistic languages, with the aim of closely confronting the new frontiers of reality. As with other countries in the past, photography in Italy seems, more than ever, to be in harmony with the times, capable of integrating the dominant characteristics of the present era. The photographic composition involves a process of intensification and actualization of reality, a synthesis, exactly as poetry distills concepts with essential, perfectly balanced words, without there being a single superfluous one. The gift of the image and the brevity of verse are places from which to observe our own soul and to see precisely what it is doing, thinking, or feeling. In 2013, Year of Italian Culture in the United States, contemporary Italian photography and poetry verse join together as protagonists to show America the special, all-Italian relationship between tradition and renewal, past and future.
