THE GALLERY

​

Spazio e Immagini was born in  Bologna in 2017 as a place devoted to photography and Images for photo collectors and photo lovers from an idea of Matteo Giacomelli, art historian and filmmaker.

The gallery focuses on original vintage photos ( original vintage prints) on the following subjects :  Dolce Vita and Paparazzi Photographyi in Rome 50s - 60s, Cinema ( Set Photos, Film Stills, Specials and Cinema Portraits) 40s - 70s, Photojournalism 30s - 70s, Radical Architecture/ Architettura Radicale, Counterculture. Original documents and Ephemera (flyers from the 60s and 70s, creative sheets, posters, etc.)

The strong point of Spazio e Immagini is the large archive dedicated to Vernacular Photos ranging from the end of the 19th century to the 90s of the 20th century. These photos, mainly by unknown artists, give us a glimpse of the life of ordinary people without filter. They stand out not only as documents and record of a bygone era but also for their freshness of invention and aesthetic qualities.

 

Spazio e Immagini is always in search of new archives

 ( photos and documents) to acquire .

 

Spazio e Immagini distributes all the  documentaries on Radical Architecture 

( Adolfo Natalini 1000 Disegni per un'Architettura, Superstudio o la Mossa del Cavallo, Ugo La Pietra il Disequilibrista, Riccardo Dalisi le Regole della Libertà, Franco Summa Cittadino dell'Arcobaleno) produced by Emmegiprod
