Books invade the MAXXI piazza with the cycle of encounters Nel baule. Ricordi e autobiografie curated by the writer and journalist Roberto Ippolito.
From July to October writers, stylists, photographers and protagonists from the worlds of show business and art will be alternating on the imposing 8½ stage: from Gianni Berengo Gardin to Dacia Maraini, from Lina Wertmuller to Pupi Avati and many others.
Eight events with a relaxed atmosphere in which the protagonists will be trawling through their memories to describe episodes, meetings and periods of their personal and professional lives to provide a key to the understanding of their books.
Thursday 10 July, 19.00
The book of books
MAXXI Piazza, Spazio YAP – admittance free
The many photographic books by Berengo Gardin describe our times, changing and evolving tastes in publishing, the new paths followed by design; they ocument the photographer’s many and important encounters with intellectuals and writers that have written for and about him (Mario Soldati, Cesare Zavattini, Federico Zeri, Renzo Piano, Giorgio Bassani and many others) and the meetings with his fellow photographers with whom he has frequently shared the adventure of a photo book to be published like the mooring of a ship after a long ocean corssing. The book of books features this patrimony of titles, covers, images and voices
“I know of no other figures of similar stature in the world of the photography of the second half of the 20th Century whose work is so profoundly rooted in photo books or who has published a similar number.”
