Nino Migliori: una storia della fotografia italiana

Nino Migliori: una storia della fotografia italiana is the exhibition by Fondazione Garuzzo, curated by Alessandro Carrer and Clemente Miccichè, from March 7 to April 20, 2025 at the Art Museum of Xi’an, one of the largest spaces dedicated to hosting contemporary art in China that welcomes almost a million visitors every year, and will be part of the international exhibition that celebrates the 15th anniversary of the birth of the museum. Subsequently, the exhibition will be exhibited in the Chinese capital, Beijing.

Being the first major retrospective of the Bologna-based photographer in China, the project is realized thanks to the collaboration between the Fondazione Garuzzo – which has been working to promote Italian contemporary art in the world since 2005 – and Fondazione Nino Migliori – committed to protecting the profile and artistic identity of the photographer – and was made possible thanks to the decades-long relationships of the Fondazione Garuzzo with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Italian Embassy in China, the Italian Cultural Institute in Beijing and Chinese institutions.

In Xi’an, one of the most famous and visited cities in the country thanks to its many historic buildings and the thousand-year-old terracotta army, the exhibition Nino Migliori: a history of Italian photography brings 194 works that span a large part of the author’s career, from his early days to present, from the “realist” series, through the experiments and research, up to the most recent results.
