Alain Elkann Interviews

INTIMATE DIALOGUES WITH ANTONELLO DA MESSINA. Marco Delogu is an acclaimed Italian photographer, publisher, and cultural director whose work focuses on portraits of groups sharing common languages and experiences.  He served a successful four year term as the Director of the Italian Cultural Institute in London from 2015 to 2019, noted for his innovative approach as the first photographer leading such an institute. Since 2022 Delogu is President of the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, an instrumental body of the city of Rome that manages an integrated system of cultural spaces and events, capable of reaching a large and attentive audience. "Antonello was in my mind, so I photographed four Antonello paintings, starting with L'Annunciata di Palermo." "If you want to get into these two pictures, you have to enter and then to get away from these eyes." "I want to finish my work with Antonello da Messina and then I just want to go on and be open."
