If Luigi Ghirri is one of the most beloved authors in the world of collecting, this is due to his original gaze and only apparent linearity that characterizes his works. His ability to switch from the small 35 mm format to the medium format, to alternate negative film, slides, Polaroids always remaining faithful to the delicate chromatisms of a very recognizable use of color make him a photographer more attentive to philosophical reflection than to technical disputes. As the Modena City Rambles defined him in one of their songs, he was above all "The man of the plains". In these three of his works, the photographer shows his ability to move from interiors – and here the presence of people serves to underline the grandeur of the seventeenth-century Farnese theater in Parma – to exteriors, with a very delicate shot of a deserted Riccione where the cabins act as a backdrop for the vision of a distant and reassuring sea. Famous is also the shot of the Ortisei (Alpe di Siusi) (because, although a man of the plains, he cultivated his exceptions) which appears in “Viaggio in Italia” as before in “Tipografia/Iconografia” and is characterized by the sense of airiness as well as that type of shot that seems to involve the observer in a highly emotional way.
