This book allows us to trace a journey through Fulvio Roiter's black-and-white photographic work, as he was born and spent all his youth about 35 kilometers from Venice. Quickly passionate about photography, he became part of the La Gondola group with Paolo Monti, Gianni Berengo Gardin and a few others. After the success of Venise à fleur d’eau published in 1954, the same publisher La Guilde du Livre entrusted Roiter with the mission of photographing Umbria in the snow, and he left at once with his shoulder bag of gear, first by train then by bus, and ended up being lent a bicycle by a forest ranger, and it is at that moment that he produced some of his emblematic photographs. Fulvio Roiter, having become famous, continued his journeys around the world with the same talent.

Roiter's photographic work makes him one of the most important Italian photographers of the twentieth century. Naomi Rosenblum, the renowned American historian of photography, emphasizes the harmonious synthesis of aesthetic principles and the values of humanism that Roiter achieves in his work.
- As early as 1959, the illustrious photography critic and historian Giuseppe Turroni described him as a “prodigy” of Italian photography.
- In 1982 Fulvio Roiter was included in the collection of Great Photographers directed by Roméo Martinez, who was editor-in-chief of the Swiss photography magazine Camera.
- In 2009 an exhibition and a book-catalogue “Dieci fotografi d’oro” (10 golden photographers) highlighted him alongside Gabriele Basilico, Giovanni Berengo Gardin, Mario Cresci, Mimmo Jodice, Franco Fontana, Guido Guidi and a few others.
