  • Romano Cagnoni International Photojournalism Award 2022
    in collaboration with ROMANO CAGNONI INTERNATIONAL PHOTOJOURNALISM AWARD 2022 call for entries partner media partner with the patronage of PREMISE Romano Cagnoni (1935-2018) was an internationally recognized and award-winning photographer, one of the most important of the twentieth century. His photographs were published on the covers and front pages of nearly all the most significant newspapers and magazines in Europe and the United States. He is most famous for his documentation of global wars and conflicts. Throughout his career he produced intellectually stimulating images that demonstrated the condition of our existence and also our hopes to change it. His career as a photojournalist began when he moved to London in 1958. Not long after he met Simon Guttmann (the one who initiated Robert Capa into photojournalism) and began to work on cultural topics for quality newspapers. After successfully photographing Harold Wilson’s election campaign, which led him to become prime minister for the Labor Party, Cagnoni along with the journalist James Cameron, was the first non-communist photographer admitted to North Vietnam during the tumultuous years of the war. His portrait of President Ho Chi Minh was published on the cover of Life Magazine. He photographed Biafra during the civil war in Nigeria and his images were published in large numbers in several issues of Life Magazine, winning him the “Overseas Press Award” in America. He also documented Allende’s Chile (where he worked side by side with Graham Greene), Peron’s return to Argentina, the Yom Kippur war in Israel, the war in Cambodia, the scenarios of the war in Yugoslavia (using the large format camera) and in 1995 he was in Grozny in Chechnya, where he set up a real set, in the combat zone to photograph the rebel guerrillas.

  • Romano Cagnoni / the Phenomenon of Life
    ROMANO CAGNONI / THE PHENOMENON OF LIFE Curated by Benedetta Donato e Serena Del Soldato / text by Benedetta Donato LABottega is pleased to present The Phenomenon of Life, the first tribute exhibition dedicated to Romano Cagnoni, one of the most important photojournalists of the twentieth century, who died in January this year. The exhibition, curated by Benedetta Donato and Serena Del Soldato, wants to retrace, with an unprecedented look, the professional and human experience of the author who defined himself as "Total Photographer". As Cagnoni has repeatedly stated: «Total Photography tells the story of man, the relationship with himself, with his neighbor and the society in which he lives». Staying true to the kind of photojournalism, which has always shared the fundamental importance of the image in the information, for the undeniable impact that it is able to give back, his objective has always focused on the existence that he chose to tell. The planned exhibition aims to make the work of Romano Cagnoni even more known and understood, known for images that have now become part of our collective memory, such as the photographs taken in Biafra during the civil war in Nigeria, the portrait of President Ho Chi Minh in North Vietnam or New Guinea, whose poetry of a pregnant girl walking on a stilt house is immediately remembered. Romano Cagnoni – Biography Romano Cagnoni is an international, award-winning photographer, known as one of the foremost photographers of the 20th century. His photographs have been featured on the cover and front page of nearly every significant news magazine and paper in Europe and the United States.
