This monograph, curated by Filippo Maggia, pays tribute to renowned 20th-century Italian photographer Mario Giacomelli. It features a collection of works donated by Giacomelli to the Municipality of Lonato del Garda after a 1984 exhibition. The book highlights Giacomelli's distinctive style, seen in pieces like "La fotomodella" (1955) with its sculptural and pictorial qualities, and the striking black and white contrasts in "Scanno." The series "Presa di coscienza sulla natura" (1976-1984) metaphorically explores the relationship between man and nature. The collection underscores Giacomelli's generosity and artistic legacy.
