Pino Settanni's 'Viaggio nel Quotidiano' at Teatro dei Dioscuri

The exhibition 'Pino Settanni. Viaggio nel Quotidiano' at Teatro dei Dioscuri al Quirinale in Rome runs until May 28, 2017. It opens with portraits of the photographer (1949–2010) and sample shots not seen elsewhere. Among about 80 cinematic portraits is Monica Vitti with her egg. The show highlights Settanni's lesser-known work beyond cinema, including a photo of Renato Guttuso's studio at Palazzo del Grillo, where Guttuso painted a portrait of Alberto Moravia. The exhibition then shifts to images from Afghanistan and the Balkans, depicting daily life amid late-20th-century conflicts. It concludes with black-and-white photos of Settanni's native Taranto and its people. The theme of 'quotidian' ties his work, bridging photography and painting.
