There is the epic of the Italian Jews, who leave to restart their lives in Israel, there are the synagogues and the ghettos of some major Italian cities, and the photographs of those same cities, with their monuments and their splendor. There are the landscapes, agricultural productions, foods, artisans and industries, which made Italy great in the world.
There is all of this – and much more – in the photo exhibition, which opens on March 31 at the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa.
64 photographs, in black and white, selected from the collection of the historical Alinari archives in Florence, reconstruct a journey which begins at the end of the nineteenth century and covers those routes full of hope and difficulties, which brought thousands of Italian Jews to Haifa.
Damiano Fedeli, photographer and journalist (Corriere della Sera), will be our guest at the Italian Cultural Institute and will unravel the threads of a photographic exhibition, which has a double aim: 1] to indicate the path that led, in the middle of last century, many Italian Jews to Israel; 2] to show the foundations of an ancient beauty, which never ages, but rather shows us, then and now, all its might through modern shots of archaeological finds, monuments and landscapes of Italy.
Damiano Fedeli will hold a conversation in Italian and then guide our guests through the exhibit, along with Davide Denina, director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Haifa (in English).
25 illustrations by major Italian designers, including Emiliano Ponzi, Giulia Neri, Fabio Consoli and Marina Marcolin, complete the exhibition. Colors, which shape the dreams, expectations, illusions and deadlocksof our language students. Dozens of young people, who study Italian at the Institute every year: some to continue their university studies in Italy and become doctors, nurses, oenologists or economists, some just because Italy is a country, which sparks curiosity, a country that one wants to love and know.
Event in English/Italian, in attendance.
