Film-Holder: Rural Memory Exhibited in Gonzaga

From July 29th to August 22nd, Mantua’s surroundings host a compelling anthropological exhibition in Gonzaga: Film-Holder – Photographs 1978-1984 by Fabio Cavazzoli. The project emerges from the discovery of a private archive of negatives, evolving into a thoughtful reflection on peasant civilization at a time of transition between traditional rural life and rapid industrialization.

The artist’s careful black-and-white treatment restores dignity to a world defined by hard work and deep-rooted customs. The exhibition creates a visual dialogue with the works of Dino Villani and pieces from Moreno Gentili’s Habitat series. Beyond photography, the program includes evening events ranging from the literature of Adone Nosari to a documentary film dedicated to the artist Italo Lanfredini, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on local culture.

Organized by the Circolo Ivanoe Bonomi and L’Officina dell’Immaginazione APS, this event invites visitors to rediscover the region through a critical and conscious lens. The exhibition is open during specific hours, allowing for a calm and reflective immersion into the history of the Bassa Padana area.
