Dorothea Lange: Human Dignity Captured in History

Verona hosts a profound documentary exhibition dedicated to Dorothea Lange at the Centro Internazionale di Fotografia Scavi Scaligeri. From July 30 to November 1, 2026, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the significant social changes that defined the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.

Curated by Walter Guadagnini and Monica Poggi, the collection features approximately 200 photographs from the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library. Through the lens of the renowned photographer, visitors are taken on a journey starting from the effects of the Great Depression through to the complex events of the Second World War. The narrative focuses not merely on historical events, but on the dignity and faces of ordinary people, becoming a visual testimony that continues to resonate with our present day.

This exhibition is a valuable opportunity to delve into the work of one of the most significant figures in 20th-century photography. Guided tours are included in the admission ticket, with reservations required through the educational office of the Verona City Museums.
