The 70 shots that portrayed the 20th century
Elliott Erwitt
Rome dedicates a retrospective to one of the greatest photography masters of the 1900s. Erwitt’s lens captured some of the key moments of the last century history and, thanks to his pictures, those moments have forever marked the collective imagination. The exhibition, promoted by Regione Lazio and organized by LAZIOcrea in collaboration with SudEst57 is available until July 12th 2020 in WeGil rooms. It consists in seventy of the most popular Erwitt’s pictures, offering an insight into the twentieth century history and culture through the ironic photographer’s eyes, mirror of his surreal and romantic vein.
Bari
Bari, the densely populated capital of Puglia, overlooks the Adriatic Sea for about 40 miles and to a depth of 13 kilometres. It is an important religious and commercial centre which has been defined "the door to the East" and presents a particularly important ancient town center in terms of historical and urban heritage.
Venice
Elegant, inimitable, exciting and romantic, precious: this is Venice, the gem on any tour of Italy where churches, palazzi, ancient bridges, monuments and piazzas confirm its artistic and cultural vitality. All has testified to and continues to testify to the long history of the city.
Florence
Florence is history, tradition, art and culture. The Capital of Tuscany, as Stendhal described it, possesses a “subtle charm” and boasts an historical-artistic legacy known throughout the world.
Palermo
First a Greek and Roman city, then a capital of the Arab world, and later conquered by both the Normans and the Swabians – this is Palermo, a place where preciosities left by the Arab and Norman rules coexist along with the Baroque and Art Nouveau styles of the buildings and monuments, the city streets and markets, gardens and theatres.
