Italian World Heritage sites will take centre-stage from Mar. 2 to Apr. 3 in Buenos Aires. The “UN.IT UNESCO Italia” exhibition will display the works of 14 Italian photographers who immortalised these sites. Over 160 photographs of great artistic and cultural value have been chosen for the occasion to represent the Italian sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The show will display some of the works of the greatest Italian photographers, including Vittore Fossati, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Gabriele Basilico and Mimmo Jodice. The exhibition, which will be inaugurated by Dario Franceschini, the Minister of Heritage and Cultural Activities and Tourism (MIBACT), has been organised by the Foreign Ministry and MIBACT in partnership with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, the Italian embassy in Argentina and the Italian Institute of Culture (IIC) in the capital.
