Photographs of Pino Settanni's travels in the global south on display in Rome

A tour of the world in eighty shots, from southern Italy to the Balkans toAfghanistan, to come to tell another possible way of seeing the world, through the works of an important Italian photographer, Pino Settanni (Grottaglie, 1949 - Rome, 2010). The exhibition Pino Settanni. Journeys in the Everyday. From Cinema to Reality 1966 - 2005, curated by Gabriele D’Autilia, Enrico Menduni, Monique Gregory Settanni, running until Sept. 1 in Rome, at the Domitian Stadium, as part of the 2021 edition of the Roma Fotografia festival, aims to reveal to the public a totally different Settanni.

Those of Travels in the Everyday are exteriors on the world, travel photos of a free reporter set in different territories, which for synthesis can be defined as ’South of the World’. The exhibition embraces three of them: southern Italy, the Balkans and Afghanistan. A small-large visual atlas of places often visited by photojournalism, and the media, but which Settanni interpreted according to his own sensibility over a fifty-year period, from 1966 to 2005. The works on display come from the Pino Settanni Photographic Fund, acquired in 2015 by theIstituto Luce Archives, which curates and fully digitizes this treasure trove of more than 60,000 shots.

More than 50 years after his first shots, after the international exhibitions and awards collected during his career, up to the posthumous tribute at theWorld Expo in Milan and the birth of the Museum of Photography dedicated to him in Matera in 2015, the exhibition aims to make Pino Settanni rediscover and deepen his knowledge.
