Silvia Camporesi's photographic reportage after the flood of 2023 on display in Forlì

In remembrance of the flood that hit Romagna last year, the exhibition halls of the Palazzo del Monte di Pietà, headquarters of the Fondazione Cassa dei Risparmi di Forlì will host from May 4 to June 16, 2024, the exhibition Romagna sfigurata by Forlì photographer Silvia Camporesi, curated by Sauro Turroni. The exhibition features 30 images documenting the landslides with the greatest environmental impact and the changes suffered by the landscape after the flood. The exhibition, a reportage with important artistic value that documents the environmental impact of landslides and reveals an obvious and inevitable modification of the agricultural and forest landscape, is the result of a project promoted by the Nuova Civiltà delle Macchine APS Association of Forlì, based on an idea developed by photographer Silvia Camporesi herself together with landscape architect Sauro Turroni (scientific advisor), supported by Photography Strategy 2023 promoted by the General Directorate of Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.

Through numerous surveys of Romagna’s municipalities, which lasted more than six months, Silvia Camporesi produced a series of photographs and videos, with the aim of highlighting the profound changes that connote the new landscape of Romagna. The exhibition, which will experience a second stage in September 2024 at the Galleria dell’Immagine in Rimini, will be accompanied by a volume that will contain, in addition to Silvia Camporesi’s photographs, contributions by Sauro Turroni and Franco Farinelli, one of Italy’s most distinguished geographers. The inauguration is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, 2024, at the Palazzo Monte di Pietà in Forlì; speakers include Mauro Felicori, councillor for culture of the Emilia-Romagna Region; Maurizio Gardini, president of Fondazione Cassa dei Risparmi, Forlì; Msgr. Livio Corazza, bishop of the Diocese of Forlì-Bertinoro, Jamil Sadegholvaad, mayor of Rimini, Roberto Camporesi, president Associazione Nuova Civiltà delle Macchine, Sauro Turroni, project coordinator, Silvia Camporesi, photographer.
