"Viaggi" is a collection of works by Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992). Ghirri is known for his vibrant colors and simple compositions, exploring the relationship between reality and its imagery through everyday landscapes and man-made objects. With a background in geography and maps, he poetically and intellectually captured scenes encountered through travel and movement, greatly influencing European photography from the 1970s onward. This book compiles works photographed between 1970 and 1991 under the theme of "travel," featuring diverse destinations such as lakes and mountains in northern Italy, resorts along the Adriatic coast, historical sites, museums, and theme parks. Furthermore, it incorporates visual motifs such as maps and postcards, depicting the memories and sensations born during travel in a multi-layered way. Going beyond a mere travel record, this work vividly captures the moment where physical distance and spiritual exploration intersect, embodying the breadth of Ghirri's visual contemplation.
