A photo book "Per Strada" by Guido Guidi, a leading Italian photographer. Guidi has been active since the 1970s with Luigi Gilli, who is very popular in Japan and has been re-evaluated in recent years. If there is an American style built by masters such as Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Lee Friedlander, Gilli and Guidi have formed their own Italian style that is different from the United States, England, and France. He perceives objects in a “design-like” way, composes illustrations and pagination based on a variety of fundamental, essential, and multi-layered thoughts that can be called “architectural thinking,” and has a keen sensitivity to color. This book is a collection of works composed of illustrations taken on the streets of Emilia, where Guidi lives. Like an Italian road movie, landscapes and occasional portraits are lined up, and the content is packed with the historical charm of the city and the fun of photography. Also included is a separate volume (written in both English and Italian) that talks about encounters and collaborations with Gilli. This is a masterpiece that Takashi Homma has described as one of the best books of the last few years.
