The book is divided into three sections corresponding to the great themes of Giansanti’s work: our time and the news, protagonists, and elsewhere. The body of Aldo Moro lying in the boot of the Renault 4 just found in via Caetani in Rome in 1978, one of the pictures that most marked our past, is his. Pope John Paul II, portrayed exclusively in many moments of his daily life: praying, working at his desk, travelling, going to meet one of his beloved crowds. And the intense, colourful reportages of a troubled and fascinating Africa, recorded with the curiosity, delicacy and sincere interest of a great photojournalist. The book gathers for the first time the best of his long and varied output, with many portraits from politics, culture and sport. It is the catalogue of Umanità, the retrospective devoted to the photographer who told thirty years of international history, at the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci in Milan in 2010.
