The ancient citadels of the Maya-era have mostly been unearthed in the 19th century, while Spanish colonists had already built towns with Baroque architecture, which explains the juxtaposition of monuments that is sometimes surprising. Moreover, in the 1960s Mexico was already beginning to transform into a modern city. The famous Venetian photographer Fulvio Roiter, a proponent of high-contrast black and white and saturated color, offers in this work a humanist and graphic vision of deep Mexico. He provides here a striking visual portrait of Mexico in the 1960s, capturing its architecture from the architecture of ancient cities to the Baroque and modern eras, its landscapes, as well as the mores, customs and faces of its population before the era of globalization.
