The project "Italians" by Giancarlo Rado, a work still in progress of which we are glad to show a selection of 12 photographs, all full figure portraits. The region where Rado has found his "Italians" are the valleys and villages of the north-eastern Italian Alps.
Giancarlo Rado writes about it:
"Portraits of Italians as they are, without any masquerade and make-up. Individuals expressing themselves through the dignity of daily work. No affected posing, no gimmicks no seeking for effects; simply telling with full honesty about what daily life all can be, about struggle and love, passion and aspirations."
