Piergiorgio Branzi is an Italian journalist and photographer born in Signa in 1928 and raised in Florence. He started photography in the fifties and traveled extensively in Italy, particulary in the south. As with many iconic photographers of this time, Piergiorgio Branzi is skilled in the art of combining a flair for poetry with a love of detail. His works have earned him great notoriety in Italy and abroad. His work has been shown in famous museums like Guggenheim in New York, the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris and the Tate Gallery in London. If you’d like to get to know Branzi and his work a little better, I can recommend this interview by Italian Ways.

Just beautiful. I think B&W photography is so much more evocative and moody than color.

I love the way of the stairs with all the laundry hanging around! It speaks to me.
I think this photo was taken in Naples. It belongs to my favorites as well. I also love Italian movies from this time, simply beautiful.
A complete revelation. I thought I had a broad appreciation of photography, but I’ve never heard of Branzi. Thanks for sharing.
