Made entirely with an 8×10 view camera, the photographs span decades and regions, revealing a slow, attentive way of seeing rooted in time, presence, and return. The title draws from the layered meaning of the Italian word \u003ci\u003estoria\u003c\/i\u003e--at once history, story, situation, and fiction--reflecting the book's open, fluid narrative. Rather than offering a linear account, Italian Story unfolds as a personal and poetic record of encounters, places, and moments shaped by memory and imagination. Balancing intimacy and distance, documentary precision and lyrical ambiguity, Modica's images form a quiet meditation on duration, place, and the act of looking. Published by L'Artiere, the book stands as an ongoing visual narrative--both lived and constructed--between photographer and country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e L'Artiere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9791280978332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Andrea Modica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715604803765,"sku":"9791280978332","price":59.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/italian-story-9791280978332","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
