A Southern Italy far removed from clichés, postcard-perfect imagery and the stereotypes that have shaped its representation for decades. Linea Sud. Paesaggio fotografico dopo il Duemila, edited by Maria Giovanna Mancini and published by KRILLBOOKS, offers a new perspective on the contemporary Italian South, revealing its historical, social and cultural complexity through the language of photography.
Moving between architecture, ruins, infrastructure, industrial landscapes and territories in transformation, the book portrays a multifaceted South rich in history, projects, experimentation and constantly evolving identities. A region that defies any single narrative, revealing itself through perspectives often overlooked in the collective imagination.
Through essays, photographic projects and interviews, the book’s 328 pages invite readers to rediscover Southern Italy not as a place frozen in time, suspended between nostalgia and tradition, but as a vibrant, layered, and contemporary territory capable of generating new visions and narratives.
