Massimo Siragusa's 100 Photos Capture Rome's Chaotic Peripheries
Photographer Massimo Siragusa (Catania, 1958) presents 'Roma, un racconto fotografico della periferia della Capitale,' an exhibition curated by Giovanna Calvenzi featuring about 100 images selected from his homonymous book published in October by Postcart Edizioni. The show explores the chaotic, often abusive urban landscape of Rome's outskirts, far from the iconic 'Eternal City' imagery. Calvenzi describes the work as a symphony of cacophonic sounds, colors, signs, and advertisements, where each photo is a composed tile in a larger, anarchic mosaic. Siragusa aims to chart a visible route through little-known but vibrant parts of the city.
