Exhibition “Life of Giovanni Marconi” curated by Giuseppe de Mattia during the 2017 edition of Fotografia Europea “Time maps. Memory, Archives, Future”
The project Speciale Diciottoventicinque was presented at the Chiostri di San Pietro exhibition area: twenty young artists (aged 18 to 25) have been working under Giuseppe De Mattia’s supervision on Giovanni Marconi’s private archives. Giovanni Marconi, born in 1922 in the Emilia region and currently living in Bolzano (Northern Italy), is an ordinary man who has made available to us an impressive quantity of images covering his whole life, from his birth till his 95th birthday, including life during WWII, working abroad, and all the changes a man goes through in a lifetime that almost lasts a century.
