Conceived by Luigi Ghirri in 1984, Viaggio in Italia is considered a milestone in the history of contemporary Italian photography which offered an alternative representation of Italy. Curator Matteo Balduzzi and Adele Ghirri (Archivio Eredi di Luigi Ghirri), will join Tim Clark (Editor at the contemporary photography magazine 1000 Words and Artistic Director of Fotografia Europea) to discuss the vision behind the project and the groundbreaking photographers who took part, as well as to explore its enduring legacy.

Organised by the Italian Cultural Institute in London to coincide with their current exhibition, Viaggio in Italia.

Also, marking the 40th anniversary of the project, an anastatic reprint of the original catalogue has been published by Quodlibet, containing a selection of 86 photographs from more than 300 featured in the historic exhibition.
