Featured Biographies

Donata Pizzi

PHOTOGRAPHER AND COLLECTOR

Donata Pizzi is a photographer and collector. Since the late seventies she has worked in the field of photography, as an archivist for L´Espresso, and a​n​ editor for Giunti, among others. ​​Her photography work has been featured in the most important Italian newspapers​,​ ​numerous exhibitions and publications​,​​ ​and ​she ​has​ also​ produced works for the oil industry (AGIP, ENI)​. Pizzi has since turned her attention to personal research, applying her vision to seemingly distant subjects from architecture to archaeology and​, more recently, to social themes. Her interest in photography focuses on the possibility of illustrating the content of a series of stories in an abstract image. Since 2015​,​ ​s​he has worked on the creation of a collection of Italian photography ​featuring the work of women photographers and artists from 1965 to today.
