Elliott Erwitt. Family<\/h1>\n\n19 Dic 2021 \u2013 3 Apr 2022<\/span>\n\n\n

Riccione celebrates one of the greatest masters of contemporary photography with the retrospective Elliott Erwitt. Family<\/em> exhibition curated by Biba Giacchetti, promoted by the Municipality of Riccione, and organised and produced in collaboration with Maggioli Cultura and SudEst57 in the recently revamped Villa Mussolini. Where the word is suspended or expands excessively, the gaze of photography, which has always been closely linked to this theme, can step in trying to interpret it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/article>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is how the exhibition Elliott Erwitt.
