Much of Tinto. The Eros of Tinto Brass in the Photographs of Gianfranco Salis.

At the CAVALLERIZZA – Center for Italian Photography, from June 13 to September 7, 2025, as part of Archivi, the 8th edition of the Brescia Photo Festival, the Municipality of Brescia and the CAVALLERIZZA – Center for Italian Photography will present an exhibition on Tinto Brass, portrayed through the lens of Gianfranco Salis.

Curated by Renato Corsini and Caterina Varzi, the exhibition focuses on the artistic and personal journey of Tinto Brass, featuring numerous photographs taken by Gianfranco Salis, a privileged on-set photographer and a constant presence in backstage moments. Salis has thus documented the artistic path of what is considered one of the true protagonists of Italian cinema.

The space aims to be a cultural hub available to the entire community, particularly the younger generations, where exhibitions, photography workshops, and cultural activities can be organized, focused on the enhancement and promotion of photographic art, with a specific emphasis on Italian photography.

The “Antonio Amaduzzi” library, one of the most important collections in Italy entirely dedicated to photographic publishing, with over 3,000 books, catalogs, and series that tell the story, paths, and key figures of this expressive form, will also be made available and accessible in the building on Via Cairoli.

The building will remain open to the public six days a week, thus allowing access to a historic and valuable property, which has recently undergone a significant restoration intervention.
