Curated by Matteo Balduzzi

The Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture and the MUFOCO – Museo di Fotografia Contemporanea, in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of London and the Archivio Eredi di Luigi Ghirri, present the exhibition Viaggio in Italia, curated by Matteo Balduzzi, hosted at ICI London from February 12 to March 28, 2025.

The exhibition celebrates the 40th anniversary of Viaggio in Italia, the photographic project conceived by Luigi Ghirri in 1984, considered a milestone of the history of contemporary Italian photography, which offered an alternative representation of Italy. It will present the 86 images contained in the original catalogue, reprinted in an anastatic copy for this celebratory occasion.

A complementary element to the exhibition for the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the photographic project is the anastatic reprint of the original catalogue (Il Quadrante, Alessandria 1984), curated by Luigi Ghirri, Gianni Leone, and Enzo Velati, designed by his wife Paola Borgonzoni, and including an essay by Arturo Carlo Quintavalle and a text by Gianni Celati. This work is among the most significant in the history of contemporary photography and artist books, and has now become a rare and collectible object. The volume, which contained a selection of 86 photographs out of the more than 300 featured in the historic exhibition, is being reissued in a 'facsimile' version by the publishing house Quodlibet, curated by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity and the Museum of Contemporary Photography, in collaboration with the Luigi Ghirri Heirs Archive.
