A SMALL (AND TASTY) TASTE OF THE EXHIBITION

HOW THE EXHIBITION IS STRUCTURED
Twenty-five photographs take the visitor into an evocative world where sails, the silhouettes of hulls, the rays of the sun and the froth of the waves take on new and unexpected forms. A small white boat sailing toward clouds as big as mountains, a spinnaker emerging from the darkness swollen by the wind, the silhouette of a man appearing against the light behind a colorful sail, Luna Rossa crossing the Amerigo Vespucci in the seas of New Zealand, the hull i Alinghi transported by helicopter from Switzerland to Italy: Carlo Borlenghi’s images recount the most important moments of international boating with unique vision and poetry.
