Literature

Franco Fontana, Appunti Siciliani, Federico Motta Editore, Milan, p. 52
Internationally renowned above all for his colourful landscapes dominated by a chromatically astonishing nature, Franco Fontana has actually expressed himself in various fields, as demonstrated by this group of images ranging from the portrait of a Milva whose hair he highlights, to shots of architectural spaces captured in the most diverse places, but with the same curious, attentive gaze. This can be seen by comparing a series of buildings in Castellammare in Sicily and Los Angeles, which the photographer has shot with daring cuts that have allowed him to obtain images of a delightful geometrism.
