Marco Delogu, Ritratti Romani

Ritratti Romani is the title of the book that brings together ten photographs by Marco Delogu. Photographic portraits of portraits carved in stone of emperors, men of letters and philosophers of the Roman era that let the gazes of Cicero and Epicurus, of Ganymede and Pythagoras, of Homer and Salonina, of Caracalla and Alexander Severus speak, at times profound, dark, thoughtful, melancholic.

Portraiture is a subject dear to Marco Delogu, an internationally renowned photographer, who has repeatedly tackled Roman portraiture, restoring, with a skillful work of light, new life to characters who have written our history, and of whom they bear the burdensome mark in the features of their faces.
