The Eye, Life, History
Few photographic productions go through
the italian history of the post war period, with the same attention, acute
glance and critic sense, like Franco Pinna did. In his pictures we find
not only the protagonists of the italian history, the most important events
(the liberation of Rome, Togliatti's speeches, the death of Pope Giovanni
XXIII), but even the rapresentation of the poor and humble people, the
tragic tale of silent humanity excluded from the big scenary of history.

In his pictures all the contraddiction
of a nation, the political willing of forget about social and economic
conflicts in the generic name of the "modernity", later called "economic
boom". The Italy shown by Pinna through his psycholocical analysis of his
subjects, is the perfect rappresentation of the deep contrasts between
personal feelings and national identity, private glance and social portrait.
The neorealistic photography is rapresented
by Pinna in the highest level without those rethoric accents that so often
caracterize the cinematographic production of that period.
