Hardback. Condition: New. Bologna Portraits is the portrait of one of the most charming and least well-known Italian cities portrayed through the faces of the people who live there today. It started during the artist's many stays in the town. Discovering Bologna little by little, Jacopo Benassi took pictures, like a sort of notebook, of the faces of the most interesting people he met during his time there. After a few months he already had a large portfolio of people which, like in a mosaic, built a bigger portrait of the whole city today. Bologna is probably the best-kept secret of the Italian cities with a great past. Large-scale tourism has never affected it, but in recent years it has been discovered by a growing group of sophisticated travellers passionate about art, culture, cinema and food. The portraits are a mix of young artists, writers, minor and great musicians, leading businessmen, famous bar tenders, tailors, professors at the local university (the oldest in the Western world), personalities and international artists such as Nino Migliori and Luigi Ontani. All of them born or living in Bologna. The whole book is a study of real faces that are able to be meaningful and to tell a story, and recall a tradition like the study of faces by Pier Paolo Pasolini in some of his films, or Andy Warhol's Screen Tests. But at the same time, they recall a masterpiece like Un Paese, the book produced by Paul Strand and Cesare Zavattini. The book includes a text by art critic Antonio Grulli.

Jacopo Benassi / Giulia Benassi | Pietraia Nero editions, 2025 A cura e testo di Antonio Grulli Direzione creativa di Francesco De Figueiredo Progetto grafico di Marco De Ieso, Nero Traduzione di Anna Martinelli Brossura, cm. 24 x 34, pagine 120 Lingua inglese Pietraia is the result of the encounter between sculptor Giulia Cenci and photographer Jacopo Benassi - their practices merging to create a new body of work, where the hybrid forms of her pieces and his visceral gaze generate a shared language of transformation. Introduced by curator Antonio Grulli, the artists met in Milan and then gathered in Pietraia, a rural village where Cenci set up her studio in the former stables of her family's farm. There, she works with metal to create casts of organic and mechanical bodies - branches and pipes, bones and pistons, human and animal faces - which she assembles and disassembles to shape new, visionary figures. Benassi photographed these creations indoors, in the studio, and outdoors, in the woods. Rejecting conventional modes of documentation, he worked in darkness, using flash and long exposures, fragmenting and multiplying the shapes, turning heavy metal into trails of pure light. Rearranging Cenci's works into unexpected constellations - relating and contrasting with each other and with the surrounding vegetation - his shots reveal their spectral nature and amplify their phantasmatic presence. "A cast is a photographic process, albeit a three-dimensional one" - writes Grulli. At the same time, using the blinding flash of his camera, Benassi sets out to "re-sculpt" Cenci's figures. Pietraia thus becomes the outcome of a collaboration where two distinct practices fuse, giving rise to something entirely new - an uncanny language of light and matter, haunted and alive.
