Beneath the luxurious glamour of the Riviera lies a daily life waiting to be rediscovered and revealed. A fresh look is needed. From the encounter between the multiple facets of a single territory emerges a unique energy, inspiring photographers to capture it. A narrative then emerges highlighting the contrasts and harmonies of this place, far from the expected stereotypes.

Jean-Marc Caimi and Valentina Piccinni are an internationally renowned photographic duo specializing in documentary photography, with a particular focus on the relationship between humans and territory, as well as and socio-political transformations. Since 2013, they have combined a documentary approach with a contemporary, personal photographic language, creating rich, multidimensional visual narratives. Their work is regularly published in leading international media such as Le Monde, Libération, Epic, Society, The Guardian, National Geographic, Die Zeit, Wired, L’Espresso, etc. Their projects have won prestigious awards including the Sony World Photography Award and the Earth Photo Award. Authors of several critically acclaimed books, they have exhibited their work at major international photography festivals and galleries.
