The Morandi's bridge : an announced tragedy
A few years ago I was preparing an exhibition and a book of photographs on Genoa, at the conclusion of a project that lasted several years. The first draft of the cover was the first image of this gallery, the Morandi bridge photographed from below; the title decided was "The city that killed itself", subtitle "photograph of a vulnerable city". They convinced me that the title was too strong, a bit macabre and put the city in a bad light. I let myself be persuaded and reluctantly changed it to the final version (Lost places). Here you will find some photographs of the viaduct on the Polcevera taken in the years preceding its collapse and others taken after that tragic 14 August 2018. ©Adriano Silingardi
