Francesco Radino

Francesco Radino (Bagno a Ripoli, Florence, 1947) is one of the masters of contemporary Italian photography. Participating in the developments of research photography on the contemporary landscape, over the course of fifty years he developed an intimate way of exploring reality in its profound economic, historical, social and cultural transformations. His work is therefore one that goes beyond the genre of the landscape, opening up to every aspect of the world, from nature - his great passion - to urbanized areas, from the human figure to objects, from animals to architecture, ranging from the Italian to the international context, with frequent trips, in particular, to the USA and Japan. Engaged in the elaboration of an imagery that originates from reality but goes on to build refined forms and variegated visual stratifications, Radino is an uncommon figure of free creativity. The volume contains the most significant works of his rich production, accompanied by numerous critical interventions and writings by Radino himself.
