The authors share a passion for travel and photography.

Cinzia, who has been photographing everything since she was a child, loves both nature and street photography, “to capture the moment in a spontaneous shot”.
Landscape photography, on the other hand, reminds her of “the emotions felt in front of the wonders of nature” in the moment of the shot.

Fiorella has always been a traveller and in her pictures, which forever fix the memory of the emotions, the colours of the sea and sky, the blue and white of the Greek islands, the colours of sunsets and sunrises stand out. Then the discovery of wild animals in the parks of Tanzania and the atmosphere of the North (from Iceland to Greenland) with its vast landscapes, ice and whales.

These are all suggestions the authors express, offering aesthetic and narrative cues that convey the feeling of a time and place.

The exhibition is at the Teatro Guiglia, a place that, though not part of the classic tourist tours of Modena, has its own charm.

For centuries, a large and active Jewish community lived in the heart of medieval Modena, as the various monuments around the Synagogue in Piazza Mazzini still testify.
Via Rismondo was not a ‘ghetto’ but a ‘semi-ghetto’ area, a place where Jews and Christians lived and worked together.

It is not certain what the space now occupied by the Teatro Guiglia was: perhaps a synagogue or a reading room. Later it was used as the refectory of a convent. Finally, it was bought back by a private person who restored it and embellished it with several relics.

Today, the place is an opportunity for a visit into the past of a Modena between ducal and Jewish, with hints of the Mutina of ancient Roman times, too.
