A monograph dedicated to a great and noble Italian photojournalist. Ivo Saglietti is not a photographic mercenary, in Ferdinando Scianna's words: he does not use the camera to rattle off bursts of photographs. Saglietti is one of those photojournalists who think it is important to participate emotionally in the event that is being portrayed.
It matters to him that he shows man and his destiny and that is why he seeks a contact with the people he portrays, and always exchanges some words with them, almost as if he does not want to appear to be intruding.This book tells, through images, the poetry of this photojournalist through 20 years of activity, from Pinochet's Chile to Nigeria, and from Kosovo to modern-day Uzbekistan.
