Pirelli Tower Milan, Gio Ponti 1956
An exhibition of the work of Giorgio Casali, the most interesting post war Italian architectural photographer opens at the London Estorick collection tomorrow and runs until 8 September.
Working for the journal Domus for over thirty years, he created an amazing collection of images of what may now be seen as an heroic period in Italian architecture- images which, in the time-honoured fashion of the commissioned architectural photographer reflect and flatter the formal concerns of such architects as Ponti, Albini and Monsani.
I'm doing a gallery talk on 15 June at 3pm.
