Information
Vintage gelatin silver print
cm 40,5 x 30,5 (cm 28,5 x 28,8 picture) | 15.9 x 12 in. (11.2 x 11.3 in. picture)
Photographer's credit stamp on the verso
If there is one photographer who knows Milan from having walked around it with genuine dedication, it is Virgilio Carnisio. He started doing this in the 1960s to preserve in his images those characteristic corners that he feared would be wiped out by building speculation amid general indifference. Things were not so catastrophic, but in the large black and white archive where the photographer records dates and places with great precision, he has created an authentic portrait of the city with its courtyards, railing houses, shops and narrow streets in the centre. Very careful in his composition and exacting in his prints, Virgilio Carnisio has a clean, essential vision that concedes nothing to rhetoric.
