New Corraini book series 'Altri Sguardi' reimagines Italian museums through contemporary photography

The Italian publishing house Corraini has launched a new editorial series titled 'Altri Sguardi' (Other Gazes), created by the Direzione Generale Musei and curated by Maura Picciau, an art historian and director of the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica. The project aims to promote lesser-known Italian museums through the work of major Italian photographers, accompanied by texts from writers and art critics. The first four books debut with photographers Olivo Barberi (Parco Archeologico di Venosa), Paola De Pietri (Compendio Garibaldino on Caprera), Silvia Camporesi (Cappella Espiatoria di Monza), and Luca Capuano (Museo di San Marco in Florence). Writers include Franco Arminio, Francesco Zanot, Marcello Fois, Antonello Frongia, Marinella Paderni, Lisa Parola, Alessandro Carrer, and Melania G. Mazzucco. The series will unfold over three years, with some photographs entering the collections of the Istituto Centrale per la Grafica and the featured museums. An exhibition of original prints will be held in autumn at Palazzo Poli in Rome. Book design is by Francesco Delrosso and Jonathan Pierini. All texts are in Italian and English.
