Throughout history, documentary photographers have succeeded in making images which have since achieved the status of an icon. French Marc Riboud, Italian Nino Migliori and Slovenian Stojan Kerbler have each shaped the way in which we understand events that happened in their time and place. As we dive into their worlds of black&white photography, we are immersed in the beauty of iconic historic imagery.

Nino Migliori has been developing some of the most articulated and interesting research in European image culture since 1948. From the very beginning he produced neorealist sequence-narration photographs as well as original and new experimentations in materials. Neorealismo, the style linked to the tradition of film-making, opposed the official images of the fascist  period, the rhetoric of parades and formal portraits. The innovative new photography was also different from amateur images, and revealed a contemplative vision of the world associated with aesthetic tendencies.  Migliori has discovered a different approach to photography, joining the aspects of filmography, civil tension, the strength of story-telling and a great sensitivity for what it means to be human.
