Nicola Sansone's Italy in Transition at Museo di Roma in Trastevere

The Museo di Roma in Trastevere presents a photography exhibition by Nicola Sansone (1921-1984), a Neapolitan photojournalist based in Rome. The black-and-white images capture post-war Italy's transformation, focusing on Southern traditions and the tension between modernity and backwardness. Curated by Renato Corsini and Margherita Magnino, the show also features Sansone's travels to the United States and Japan, including the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. His anthropological approach documents human complexity with an ethical, participatory intent. The exhibition highlights his role as a major photojournalist who used the camera as a tool for truthful storytelling.
