Marco Baroncelli: A Choral Remembrance One Year After His Death

Artribune publishes a collective tribute to Marco Baroncelli (Prato, 1967), an Italian artist and photographer who died prematurely a year ago. The article gathers memories from friends, artists, curators, and critics, highlighting his delicate, empathetic approach to photography and his ability to reveal the world's discrepancies through diptychs and triptychs. Contributors include Federica La Paglia, Andrea Abati, Vittoria Ciolini (Dryphoto Arte Contemporanea), Gea Casolaro, Paolo Ruffini, Viviana Gravano, Roberto Piloni, Fiammetta Strigoli, Silvano Manganaro, Alessio Verzenassi, Olga Gambari, Iginio De Luca, and Angelo Bellobono. They recall his series "Interno giorno" (2001), "Lapsus Linguae" (1995-2011), and the video "Parole Crociate" (2002, with Enzo Orlandi), which addressed immigration. Baroncelli's work was influenced by the new Italian landscape photography school (Ghirri, Barbieri, Guidi, Abati) but evolved into a personal style marked by emotional traces and a poetic gaze. The tribute emphasizes his reserved nature, his use of images as poetry, and his ability to create empathetic connections through art.
