From the dust jacket-
"Every aspect of his work is covered: from the first images he shot on the beach of Senigallia to his most celebrated series; from the sequences dedicated to poetic masterpieces to those published here for the first time; and from the landscapes that Giacomelli repeatedly captured and reinvented throughout his life to his more 'material' photographs, where the tension between the black figures and white backgrounds creates a sense of expectation, drama, weight and lyricism.
