Pandemic Photography Exhibition Opens at Rome's Palazzo Barberini
The exhibition titled 'Italia in-attesa. 12 racconti fotografici' is currently on display at Palazzo Barberini in Rome, showcasing 100 photographs commissioned by the Italian Ministry of Culture from 12 different photographers to capture the essence of the pandemic. Curated by Margherita Guccione, Carlo Birrozzi, and Flaminia Gennari Santori, the exhibit is open until June 13 and spans five rooms, including three that have recently been inaugurated. Featured works include Olivo Barbieri's depictions of Mantegna's frescoes, along with contributions from artists such as Antonio Biasiucci, Francesco Jodice, and Silvia Camporesi. The larger project '2020 Fermoimmagine' is coordinated by Paola Nicita and Matteo Piccioni, which will also include 'Città sospese' at Palazzo Poli and 'Refocus' at the Triennale di Milano.
