Luigi Ghirri was an extraordinary photographer and one of the most important names that Italy, but also the world, has known in recent years. His ever-new vision, his gaze always ready to be astonished by things and to look beyond mere appearances, have imposed in the world of photography and art a new way of thinking about reality, of representing it and of living, for example, the landscapes and the everyday objects that are part of our perception. This volume is dedicated to Luigi Ghirri, to his photography, to his writings: the most complete anthology ever produced about the art and thought of a great contemporary Italian author.

The collection of works is accompanied by a selection of texts by Luigi Ghirri, an essay by Germano Celant, a note by Paola Ghirri, a chronology edited by Elena Re, and a reasoned bibliography.
