The inauguration of the traveling photographic exhibition will be held on Thursday 2 May at 5.30 pm, in the upper gallery of the Kulturni dom in Gorizia “Mafia butcher’s shop” by reporters Franco Lannino and Michele Naccari, organized by Kulturni dom, by the cultural association Apertamente and by the photojournalism agency “Studio camera” of Palermo, with the collaboration of the Teatro Miela of Trieste, Leali delle Notizie di Ronchi dei Legionari and the Free association of Gorizia.
In addition to the president of Kulturni dom Igor Komel, the scientific committee of Apertamente, Luca Perrino and Giulia Micheluzzi for Leali delle Notizie and the president of the Teatro Miela of Trieste, Enzo D’Antona, will be present at the inauguration. The regional itinerary of the exhibition as part of the Pequod-Itineraries of literature and journalism review started from Trieste on 14 March.
An exhibition of great impact, which recounts the carnage that took place on the streets of Palermo and the province, especially in the so-called “triangle of death”, starting from the 1980s. Crude images of ten years of murders in Sicily and which Lannino himself defines as a “descent into hell”. Looking at the shots of photojournalist of the historic Studio Camera agency, the definition does not seem like an exaggeration at all: the eyes and lenses of the two photographers have in fact seen and frozen forever chilling images which in Palermo, for a long period, sadly had the contours of normality.
The purpose of the exhibition is precisely to be a “naked and raw” experience, as the photographer Lannino explains, and to deal with “a historical reality that those born from the 1990s onwards do not know”. A true full immersion in horror, explained to those who know nothing about that period and which provides a portrait of the mafia and its heinous crimes outside of any cinematic and fictional sweetening.
The exhibition will be open to visitors until 16 May 2024, from Monday to Friday from 9.30 to 12.30 and from 15.30 to 18 and in the evening hours during the various cultural events.
