ARCHIVE

TOMMASOLI

The evolution of visual culture, in the uniqueness of this century-long archive, facilitates reading in the two directions of time, also allowing continuous passages from professional practices to the freer investigations of artistic research.

 

And it is here that the added value of this "family history" appears, which overlaps the history of photography and art for a century . 

 

The language of photography is investigated by the authors in autonomous paths, from which sudden memories rather than quotations emerge, sometimes revealing a sort of osmotic exchange with their history.

The Tommasoli Archive preserves the images of four generations of photographers:

 

Silvio (1878 -1943)

Filippo (1910-1985) and Fausto (1912-1971)

Sirio (1947)

Alessandra (1961)

Fllippo (1990).

In 2019 the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities recognized the Tommasoli Archive as a particularly important asset of historical interest for the technical and artistic quality of the images.

The collection is the result of a professional and artistic activity developed in Italy and abroad from 1906 to the present day, divided and organized into two collections: the historical one, referring to the work of Silvio, Filippo and Fausto (1906-1982) and the contemporary one.

The Archive collects a century of study, photography, Italy and Verona history: from negatives and slides on glass to film and digital files.

Among other things, there are portraits of friends of the early twentieth century and reference figures of Italian Futurism (such as the poet Barbarani, the anthropologist Callegari, the painter Boccioni) and others of national and international personalities from the world of art, business and entertainment, as well as experimental and pure artistic research photographs.

The collection is enriched by images of the territory, of Verona and Garda Lake with works dating from 1910, and of other Italian and foreign towns and cities.

To complete the photographic collection, the Archive collects instruments, documents, art publications and photographic literature texts.
