Venise '55/'65: Berengo Gardin and Del Pero's Photographic Dialogue at Fondation Wilmotte

The exhibition 'Venise '55/'65' at the Fondation Wilmotte in Venice presents 54 black-and-white photographs by Gianni Berengo Gardin (born 1930) and Sergio Del Pero (1913–1987). Organized in collaboration with the Circolo Fotografico La Gondola, the show contrasts Gardin's iconic, candid street photography with Del Pero's architectural and everyday scenes, creating a visual dialogue between two complementary talents. Gardin, known as 'the greatest known Italian photographer,' emphasizes his professional craftsmanship, while Del Pero, 'the greatest unknown Italian photographer,' was a cabinetmaker by trade who amassed over 800 competition awards. The exhibition has attracted notable public interest, especially among Venetians and photography enthusiasts.
