The exhibition PAOLO DI PAOLO. Rediscovered Photographs, curated by Giovanna Calvenzi and Silvia Di Paolo, will run from October 23, 2025, to April 6, 2026, and brings back to the public eye the forgotten work of an artist who was able to portray, with delicacy and depth, the Italy of the postwar rebirth.  <\/p>\n<p>More than 300 photographs \u2014 many of them previously unpublished and, for the first time, also in color \u2014 along with archival materials, vintage magazines, and original documents, form a journey through Di Paolo\u2019s entire artistic career, from his beginnings in 1953 to his intense collaborations with the leading publications of the time. The exhibition also features a special, previously unseen focus on Genoa and Liguria, regions often captured through the photographer\u2019s elegant and poetic lens, before he abruptly left the scene in 1969 due to a deep personal and professional crisis. <\/p>\n<p>Di Paolo was the favorite photographer of Mario Pannunzio, the legendary editor of the weekly Il Mondo, where he published 573 photographs over 14 years, and he was a regular contributor to the magazine Tempo. Through his reportages, he portrayed Italy and the world, documenting social changes, everyday people, and iconic figures: from Pier Paolo Pasolini to Anna Magnani, from Lucio Fontana to Giorgio de Chirico, from Sophia Loren to Marcello Mastroianni. His style, marked by a participatory yet never intrusive gaze, captured the soul of the country during a pivotal moment in its history.  <\/p>\n<p>After his withdrawal from photography, his entire archive \u2014 over 200,000 negatives \u2014 remained forgotten for fifty years, until his daughter Silvia rediscovered it and returned it to the history of Italian photography. To mark the occasion of the exhibition, Marsilio Editori is publishing the novel Solo per te by Silvia Di Paolo with Antonio Leotti \u2014 an intense and personal account inspired by the extraordinary rediscovery of Di Paolo\u2019s archive, telling the story of the photographer for the first time by weaving together family history, art, and reflections on memory. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prometeoliberato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/02-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prometeoliberato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/03-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prometeoliberato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/04-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prometeoliberato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/05.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prometeoliberato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/06-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To mark the centenary of the birth of Paolo Di Paolo (1925\u20132023), the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa presents a retrospective dedicated to one of the great masters of 20th-century Italian photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1027,"featured_media":900512,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-900511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bellezza"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u201cPAOLO DI PAOLO.
