Themes
The voice Themes corresponds
to fives photographic sections. Each section concerns a specific subject
matter (Rome, South, Sardinia, Emilian Itineraris, Fellini)
and represents an emblematic aspect of Pinna's photographic work.

| Rome
Culture, fashion, politics, young people,
show biz, popular habits, jobs, daylife and nightlife: a diary lasted thirty
years, made of powerful photos which underlines the contrast of a city
with a glamorous past and a confusional present. Through Pinna's eyes the
perfect portrait of Rome, microcosm and paradigm of all the postwar western
capitals, facing their crises, the lack of ethic values.
Pinna's vision of the southern Italy has
nothing to do with the common idea of a depressed area waiting to be colonnized
by the industrial progress. The South, the pureness of its landscape, the
dignity of its people is an empathetic representation of a humanity still
linked to the ancient roots, indifferent to the seductions of modern civilization.
He's point of view is objective, interested
in the documentation of habits and social rites he felt destined not to
survive.

Sardinia
This section illustrates Pinna's work for the photobook Sardegna, una civiltà di pietra (Rome 1961), with a text by the writer Giuseppe Dessì and explanations written by the anthropologist Antonio Pigliaru. The return of Pinna in his native land gives him a chance to go back to his past to recuperate memories and the never forgotten linkeage with his wild isle. Emilian
Itineraries
Fellini
