The exhibition includes 40 vintage photographs and about 50 contemporary black and white prints chosen from the endless archive of Mario De Biasi, one of the most prolific of photographers in Italy or anywhere in the world.
Images that help us understand social values and historical realities, the evolution of lifestyles and the instincts of a metropolis. Something that might seem extraordinary to any other photographer, but not to De Biasi, who has always observed everything and everyone with sensitivity and uncommon intelligence.
In single photographs of admirable synthesis, his story unfolds with curiosities, habits, moments of intense emotion.
Other photographs capture the most ordinary of actions which escape notice in day-to-day life.
The recent past, the present and the future flow together as if in a big family album, recording the life and physiognomy, moods and sentiments of Milan.
