Literature

Luigi Ghirri, Ghirri di Musica, Galleria De' Foscherari Bologna, Gli Ori, Prato 2008, p. 67

If everyone remembers Luigi Ghirri's extraordinary research on the landscape, of which 'Imaginary Geography' is a beautiful example, others emphasise his ability to juxtapose the most diverse aspects with the same cultural curiosity, the conceptualism of contemporary art and the music of Bob Dylan, his friendship with Gianni Celalti and that with Lucio Dalla, to whom he dedicated portraits such as those proposed here.
