25 Breathtaking Black and White Photos of Everyday Life in Italy from the 1960s

Born in 1930 near Genoa on the northwest Italian coast, Gianni Berengo Gardin devoted himself early to photography. It was in his early twenties, while managing the family glass shop in Venice that he began to envisage a career in photography. He usually chooses to work in black and white as “colour distracts from the subject”. His pictures feature a deep humanity tinged with irony that turned him into one of the most significant recorders of contemporary society.
