They will be 95 black and white photos which will bring back to the memory of the people of Cesena, and of all those who frequented these spaces, the old covered market, with particular reference to the period that extends from the early 2000s to the start of the redevelopment works.
It will be inaugurated on Saturday May 4that 10.30, the exhibition “The old market” curated by photographer Paolo Partisaniset up in the spaces on the ground floor of Annonario Forum (Piazza del Popolo, 8). This was announced by the Municipality of Cesena. Partisani will present the series of shots that immortalize characters, commercial activities and memories that belong to his youth and to all the people from Cesena who frequented these spaces whose history begins in 1859 from the complete demolition of the ancient treasury and from the project of Davide Angeli, who conceived it as a large courtyard surrounded by a Doric portico under which the shops arranged along the perimeter.
“In view of the start of the redevelopment works – comments the photographer – I have started a photographic project that I am exhibiting today for the first time. The 95 shots make up a photo story which travels on the tracks of memory describing everyday life in the old covered market, from the early 2000s until the close of 2012. I have frequented it since I was a child: I am linked to this area of the city by a sentimental bond that I care about in a particular way. For all these reasons I wanted to tell the life of this place, the stories of those who frequented it, the activities that animated it”.
The exhibition will be open to visitors until Saturday May 25th during the opening hours of the Foro Annonario. The initiative enjoys the patronage of the Municipality and is carried out thanks to the contribution of Foro Annonario Gest.
