Franco Fontana's Route 66 Photography Exhibition at Reggia di Colorno

Franco Fontana's photographic exhibition 'Route 66' runs from September 12 to November 8, 2020, at the Reggia di Colorno in Parma. The show presents over 70 shots taken by Fontana along the historic U.S. highway, from Chicago to Los Angeles. The images capture the aesthetics and atmosphere of deep America, reflecting the spirit of individual freedom embodied by the 'Mother Road'. The exhibition is part of the ColornoPhotoLife festival, this year themed 'Il Tempo, intorno a noi', and is included in the events of Parma Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2020-21. Fontana, born in Modena in 1933, is known for his color photography. The Route 66, built in 1926, is a symbol of American culture, featured in songs, books, and films.
