Gianni Berengo Gardin (Santa Margherita Ligure, 10 October 1930) is an Italian photographer and photojournalist, among the best known in his country. Gianni Berengo Gardin is an Italian photographer born in Santa Margherita Ligure in 1930. He grew up and studied in Venice, his real hometown (he was born in Liguria because his parents were on holiday there). He began to devote himself to photography at the beginning of the 1950s. From that moment on he never stopped photographing, accumulating a monumental photographic archive capable of recounting the evolution of the Italian landscape and society from the post-war period to today. From the beginning he focused his attention on a variety of themes ranging from social, daily life, the world of work to architecture and landscape. Berengo Gardin is therefore an eclectic photographer, appreciated internationally, and who has often been compared to Henri Cartier-Bresson for the lyricism of his photography.
