MERCANTI DI LUCE. Ottici e fotografi tesini tra Ottocento e Novecento
by Elda Fietta, Publistampa with the participation of Elda Fietta and Enrico Cereghini Awarded the ‘Special Mention Trentino’
Mercanti di luce tells the story of the opticians and photographers from Tesino who ensured a place for the small mountainous area in laying the foundations of the image culture. The book takes us on a journey on the trail of the people of Tesino and their past; merchants, entrepreneurs and artisans capable of combining the pragmatism of mountain dwellers with a rare cultural sensitivity. Photography becomes a tool for capturing the goals and progress of a developing civilisation.
