CSAC Parma Explores Via Emilia Through Photography Archive

The University of Parma's CSAC – Centro Archivio e Studi della Comunicazione is hosting an exhibition titled 'Esplorazioni dell’archivio. Fotografie della Via Emilia.' Curated by Paolo Barbaro and Claudia Cavatorta, this event is part of the 2016 Fotografia Europea festival. It showcases a selection from the nine million photographs stored at the Abbey of Valserena, featuring artists such as Luigi Ghirri, Olivo Barbieri, and Guido Guidi. Additionally, it includes works from the 1986 initiative 'Esplorazioni sulla Via Emilia/Vedute nel paesaggio,' which involved Gabriele Basilico, Vincenzo Castella, and others. Historical images from Alinari, Brogi, and Poppi studios, along with documentation from Atelier Vasari for ANAS since 1947, will also be displayed. The exhibition runs until October 2, 2016, and will feature a series of accompanying talks.
