Leonard Freed’s exhibition “I love Italy!” was inaugurated at the Museo di Roma in Trastevere in memory of this important photographer of Magnum Photos who died in New York in 2006. 100 extraordinary pictures describe Italy between the 50’s and the beginning of the 21st century. They are intense photographs, with a rigorous composition and rhythm. All Freed’s works show the art of a tireless searcher of the truth, a photographer of great humanity, by the intimate and compassionate glance on one hand, and the ironic and disenchanted eye on the other, sometimes raw, but always rich in technique and experience. Without Leonard Freed photography would have been “another photography”, that’s what emerges from this beautiful exhibition, which represents a must for every photographer, storyteller, passionate searcher of small and big truths.
