Padua will host from March 11 to March 29, 2026, at the Sala della Gran Guardia in Piazza dei Signori, the photographic exhibition “People in Venice” by Pierfrancesco Bassi, curated by Claudio Mainardi and produced in collaboration with the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Padua. The exhibition will feature 26 medium format black and white photographs in print.
There is no master of photography who has not dedicated his “gaze” to Venice in every situation: Fulvio Roiter, Henri Cartier Bresson, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Ugo Mulas, and many more. Their images are etched in the minds and hearts of every photography enthusiast and beyond. But as the author emphasizes: “the photographs in this exhibition seek something else. This time the city is in the background. The center of the exhibition is the People who traverse it, who experience it for a moment or a lifetime. The way of ‘living’ Venice is entirely personal. I enjoyed capturing expressions, behaviors, and reactions that are generated by coming into contact with Venice”.
