ULIANO LUCAS - "Bolzano, raduno degli Schutzen"

Beautiful photograph by Uliano Lucas, a great reporter of the 1970s, including the white-bordered format 30 x 24 cm, the photo inside 15 x 22 cm. Glossy print, perfect, a slight mark in the top right corner, edges perfect, a print for collection. The author's stamp on the back and the Grazia Neri agency stamp.
"Bolzano, gathering of the Schützen" is the title of this notable photograph and vintage black-and-white print (silver gelatin) that documents a gathering or procession of the historic Tyrolean militias in the capital of South Tyrol.
Uliano Lucas (Milan 1942), from a working-class family, from a very young age began his training by frequenting the historic Brera venues where he had the opportunity to meet and exchange experiences with artists, photographers and intellectuals. Always focused on social themes, with his shots he masterfully described the Milanese popular and social fabric, student protests, the years of terrorism, the world of work and its transformations. He collaborated, as a freelance reporter, with the most important Italian publications. As a correspondent he followed and documented the decolonization process in Africa, the complex reality of the Middle East, the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia and the life of migrants in Europe.
