Mario Carbone's 100th Birthday Celebrated with Diffuse Exhibition in Cosenza
In 2024, photographer Mario Carbone, originally from San Sosti and born in 1924, will celebrate his centenary with a special exhibition entitled 'CARBONE 100: I racconti di una vita. Fotografie dal 1954 al 1990.' This event will be held across four venues in Cosenza, including the Galleria Nazionale di Cosenza, RiMuseum, Biblioteca storica Stefano Rodotà, and MAON di Rende. The exhibit, curated by Martina Cavallarin and organized by Marilena Sirangelo alongside the Archivio Mario Carbone ed Elisa Magri, will feature notable pieces such as those from the 1970 Nouveau Réalisme funeral and Carbone's 1960 trip with Carlo Levi, concluding with a discussion on December 14 regarding the 1968 Belice earthquake.
