After showing in 2021 the exhibition La lunga strada di sabbia with photographs by Paolo Di Paolo and texts by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Fondazione Sozzani presents the photographic book that follows and expands the original project curated by Silvia Di Paolo.

In 1959, the Italian economic miracle has just begun. Arturo Tofanelli, editor of the monthly magazine Successo, entrusts Di Paolo and Pasolini with the story in pictures of Italians on vacation – from the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic; from Ventimiglia to Ostia; from Torvaianica to Sicily; from Santa Maria di Leuca to Trieste.

TeNeues publishes this reportage enriched with texts by Paolo Di Paolo, Giovanna Calvenzi and Bruce Weber.

In conversation with Silvia Di Paolo, Giovanna Calvenzi, Gianluigi Colin and Bruce Weber, Tuesday 24th September 2024, at 6.30 pm.
