About Vicenza. Town and Country. Su Vicenza. La citta i paesi la terra

More about the book

Photographer Giustino Chemello takes you on a tour of the Italian city of Vicenza, eschewing the traditional "picture postcard" approach. His aim here is not to give the recognizable image, but rather to tell the story of the region through images. Writers Luigi Meneghello, Fernando Bandini, Mario Rigoni Stern, and Vitaliano Trevisan provide the voices to accompany the images, giving the reader the story of the city and the region. In short, this book is both an act of witness to and a proposed reading of the city that Chemello has spent more than fifteen years trying to capture on film, a worthy addition to the visual culture of our age.
