A Dual Photography Exhibit
“Shadow and the Light in St. Peter’s†by Marco Anelli
“Roma-City†by Simona Filippini
Curated by
Giovanna Pennachi
Opening Reception
Thursday, September 18 from 6 to 8pm
Approximately 40 black-and-white and color photographs present a double
series of images that the two artists, Anelli and Filippini, have dedicated
to their hometown, Rome, highlighting distinctly contrasting aspects.
Marco Anelli’s work, “Shadow and Light in St. Peter,†was photographed in
its entirety inside St. Peter’s Basilica. This photographic study, pursued
over two years, offers a unique vision, unlike the traditional iconography
of the Basilica’s interior architecture and marble sculptures. These
black-and-white photographs were taken exclusively with natural light.
Simona Filippini’s work is entitled “Roma-City.†With these images and
their passionate colors, she was able to catch a number of unusual aspects
through the lens, distinct from the monumental beauty for which the city is
so famous. These photographs are taken with a Polaroid camera, and they
offer the vision of a city in evolution, stretching towards the future, in
which new train stations, new multiplex movie theaters, and new shopping
centers are the gathering places for a new multi-ethnic community.
The exhibit is free and open to the public, Monday through Friday, 9am to
5pm and will run through October 13, 2003. For more information, please
