Gaetano Mansi's Open-Air Photo Exhibition in Rome
A photography exhibition titled 'Grana&Pixels' has opened in Rome, featuring works by fashion photographer Gaetano Mansi. Curated by Ranieri Randaccio and Roberta Montrone, the show displays a selection of photographs from advertising campaigns, fashion magazines, and personal travel projects. Mansi emphasizes that his photography is not limited to framed prints but exists as posters, magazine pages, and digital images shared on social media. The exhibition is spread across multiple locations in Rome, including Piazza dei Cinquecento, via Boncompagni, Università La Sapienza, and Lungotevere delle Armi. A web app available on Mansi's website allows visitors to view a map of poster locations and create personalized tours. Visitors can share their photos on social media via Mansi's site or social pages. An online catalog accompanies the exhibition. The article also notes a similar use of technology by Fondazione Ragghianti in Lucca, which created an app for a recent exhibition that provides historical and artistic information about the city. The Lucca app uses an open format to guide users to nearby artworks based on their location.
