Emanuele Scorcelletti Author

Born of an Italian mother from Friuli and a father born in Jesi, in the Marches, Emanuele Scorcelletti returns with this project to the lands and roots of his paternal family for a tribute carried by great emotion. This emotion is the one that has attached him since his childhood to the passion for the image, first the cinema of Fellini, which his mother venerated, then the photography, that of Mario Giacomelli that he met in Senigallia, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Jacques-Henri Lartigue, his masters. Member of the Gamma photo agency from 1989 to 2009, internationally recognized for his photos of film and fashion stars, he received in 2003 the prestigious World Press prize in the “Arts and Culture” category for his black and white photo of Sharon Stone walking the carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. But make no mistake about it, what moves Emanuele is above all otherness and everything that deeply affects people, “places and people”, whether documenting the Carnival of Venice (in its early stages), a tree planting program in the Tamil Nadu region of India  for the French Yves Rocher Foundation (2017), the General States of Women for French ELLE Magazine (2010) or the relationship between man and nature (exhibition Equus in La Gacilly Festival, France, 2017). Cyril Drouhet is director of photography of the Figaro Magazine, part of one of the most important French media. He is also a curator. Simona Cardinali is Art Historian at the Palazzo Pianetti Civic Museums, Jesi. Denis Curti is a photography critic and a curator
