Puglia. Tra albe e tramonti offers a brilliant account of Luigi Ghirri's relationship with Puglia ― a distinctive region at the heel of Italy, which was pivotal in establishing Ghirri's career and continued to inspire him throughout it. A first visit in 1982 introduced Ghirri to Puglia's whitewashed streets, luminescent nights, doorways and arches, potted cacti, funfairs, and beaches, as well as a group of artists, critics, and curators who would become his close friends and collaborators. Over the following decade, Ghirri returned to the area almost every year, photographing, exhibiting, and deepening his understanding of its subtle terrain.

These photographs, almost all of which are little-known

and previously unpublished, capture the textures and rhythms of urban life, delighting in visual coincidence and tactile detail. Their sense of quiet discovery ― and the colour film on which they are shot ― allude warmly to the area's identity as a popular holiday destination. Ghirri maps the Apulian territory via the traces left by its inhabitants and visitors in images flooded with the distinctive light of Southern Italy – the bright sun and its eloquent shadows, and the otherworldly aura of neon and streetlights after dark. With texts by Adele Ghirri and Arturo Carlo Quintavalle.

本书出色地描述了路易吉·吉里（Luigi Ghirri）与普利亚的关系——这个位于意大利“脚跟”的独特地区，在吉里的职业生涯中起到了关键作用，并不断激励着他。1982年的**次访问让吉里认识了普利亚的白色街道、明亮的夜晚、门廊、拱门、盆栽仙人掌、游乐场和海滩，以及一群艺术家、评论家和策展人，他们将成为他的亲密朋友和合作者。在接下来的十年里，吉里几乎每年都会回到这个地区，拍摄、展览并加深了解这里微妙的地形。

这些照片几乎鲜为人知，也未发表过，捕捉到了城市生活的纹理和节奏，享受于视觉巧合和触觉细节。照片中安静的观赏感和丰富色彩凸显了该地区是一个备受欢迎的度假胜地。吉里通过居民和游客留下的痕迹，绘制了普利亚地区的地图，这些照片充斥着意大利南部独特的光线——明亮的太阳及其雄辩的阴影，以及入夜后霓虹灯和路灯的超凡光辉。文本由阿黛尔·吉里（Adele Ghirri）和阿图罗·卡罗·昆塔瓦莱（Arturo Carlo Quintavalle）撰写。
