After the success of the opening night attended by over 100 spectators, the “Enclosed garden” proposes the meeting “Photography as a social mirror” on Thursday 4 July. The protagonist of this new meeting will be Serafino Fasulo, an appreciated photographer and documentary filmmaker and former councillor for culture of the Municipality of Livorno, as well as former head of audiovisual programming at the Teatro Mascagni, the Arena Ardenza and the Kino Dessé. As a documentary filmmaker, Serafino Fasulo has made some reports for the satellite channel Babel on Sky, in which he investigated the ethnic realities present on Italian territory. Attentive to people and their direct narration of history, he shot La vierge à la barque between Normandy and Corsica and Pa, pa, te pup (Hello, hello, I kiss you), a journey into the Romanian community that lives between Tuscany and Romania. After a decade as a documentary filmmaker, in recent years he has focused on long-term photographic projects, preferring the peripheral realities of both the landscape and the human condition. Among his publications are the two photographic books on disability Noi, Filippide and Volontariato, and Drop in, a diary of journey between borders and migrants. Since 2016, moreover, as artistic director of the Laviosa Foundation, Fasulo has conceived and created three editions of the international competition Photography and the world of work and some successful exhibitions including those dedicated to Letizia Battaglia and Martin Parr, set up in the rooms of the Granai di Villa Mimbelli.
Serafino Fasulo is a producer, documentary director and photographer. He graduated in Modern Languages and Literatures at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of Pisa, studied painting at the Fondazione Trossi-Uberti in Livorno and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He then graduated from the Cinema Laboratory in Rome and the Free University of San Cesareo, where he studied directing, photography, editing and filming. From 2002 to 2004 he was national president of the Italian Union of Cinema Clubs (UICC) and represented the International Federation of Cineclubs (FICC) as president of the jury for the Don Quixote award at the Locarno, Berlin, Karlovy-Vary and Pilsen festivals. He worked for Rai and for other film productions as a production inspector, assistant director, casting manager. His articles and photographic reports are published by the magazine Livornosera.it and the Franco-Italian magazine Focus In.
