Bar Stories On Camera: Galleria Campari & Magnum Photos

The exhibition, curated by Galleria Campari, features 90 photographs from the 1930s to the early 2000s that chronicle the world of the bar through 48 images from the Galleria Campari Historical Archives and 42 signature shots by 24 international photographers from the Magnum Photos agency, including Robert Capa, Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr and Ferdinando Scianna.
“Bar Stories on Camera. Galleria Campari / Magnum Photos” is the first exhibition created by Galleria Campari in partnership with Magnum Photos.
Divided into three thematic sections – Sharing Moments, Bar Campari, The Icons – the exhibition presents images that build a narrative composed of stories, rituals and characters from Italy and the world. Through the dialogue between different media, eras and imagery, all the multifaceted vitality of the bar world in a unique historical period, recent but also remote, is returned in an exploration of its social connotation as a place of meeting, aggregation, leisure and cultural exchange in which Campari has been a protagonist since 1860.
