Fulvio Roiter's photographic work makes him one of the most important Italian photographers of the twentieth century, and in 2009, an exhibition and a book-catalogue titled '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.

The Navigli of Milan are a highly appreciated place for both locals and tourists from around the world. They have become a center of nightlife, but these canals are over 90 kilometers long and traverse the entire region from west to east and south.

The Navigli have a history dating back several centuries. In fact, the construction of the first navigable section dates to the second half of the 12th century, specifically in 1179, and Leonardo da Vinci designed the system of locks for the Navigli to overcome the problem of terrain level differences and make navigation possible, sketching his project in some drawings still preserved at the Navigli Museum. These canals played a crucial role in the development of the city of Milan, enabling the movement of water and goods from the mountains to the Po Plain, the richest region in Italy.
