Meaningful works

Brindisi 1986
The first real job I’ve got was given to me by the architect Giulio Redaelli, 1986 docent of Town Planning at the Faculty of Architecture of the Politecnico University of Milan. I was a student and would have to give an exam with him; he asked me for a photographic survey to the port in Brindisi to use for one of his projects, LA VALIGIA DELLE INDIE. A short while back I had bought my first digital bench at Fotocamera , an old second hand folding Linhof Technica 13 x 18, and I was very happy to have the possibility of using it at once. The expenses had been paid by some research funds and the work was happily a success. The renderings of the port’s fronts, printed on transparent acetate, have been used for analysis purposes during the planning phase.

 
  That was a journey I’ve made together with Giuseppe Zago; at that time he was a student, today he’s an architect. It was he with whom I took my first real photograph of architecture, the façade of Sant’Andrea in Mantova by Leon Battista Alberti.
