Photo exhibition: The Piazza, the man, the photographer. Pictures by Antonio Biagiotti

From 6 April to 4 June 2023 you will be able to see on display, at the Bookshop "Libreria Brunelleschi", in the Antica Canonica di San Giovanni (Piazza San Giovanni, 7), a set of 26 images by the photographer Antonio Biagiotti.

Antonio Biagiotti shoots, develops and prints in the traditional way. Digital never becomes part of the creative and production process, so much so that this way of doing photography coincides with his main stylistic figure. In this series of images, the man places himself behind the optical bench, isolates himself by placing the blackout sheet over his head, exactly as the pioneers of photographic art did, and, finally, snaps, to give a new reading of the timeless beauty of the Piazza and the Florentine cathedral. The successive phases of development and printing, considered as integral parts of the expressive choices, complete the process that leads to the images that we see on display. The 'limits' of the traditional photographic technique are converted into new creative potential, anchored to the extraordinary legacy of the past and projected into a suspended future.

Antonio Biagiotti combines his commitment as a photographer, with exhibitions in Italy and Asia, with that of popularizing analogue photography, through courses, seminars and workshops.
