Archive n.7

ARCHIVIO is an innovative Italian publishing project which, unique of its kind, focuses exclusively on the culture and reality of the archive. The most interesting aspect of this semester, in addition to enhancing the enormous cultural heritage represented by the historical archives, is that it looks at them with contemporary eyes, wanting to teach how memory becomes the future. 

Each issue explores a theme from different points of view: art, fashion, culture, sport, design, cinema, science, or photography. Among its pages you can find a selection of high quality images and exclusive content.

The seventh issue of Archivio continues the second cycle of this magazine which revisits not only the graphics and the format, but also the editing, the structure, the objectives and the interpretations.

This new series will develop taking four decades as reference periods and, within each decade, a specific year will be chosen to dedicate that number to.

Issue 7 takes us back to 1973. With Michele De Lucchi, Fausto Paravidino, Mimmo Jodice and Dante Ferretti among the protagonists, the issue addresses the great desire for revenge of the 1970s by meeting some of the themes that also represented the strong contrast of this era. 

Inside we find exceptional archive materials on Cholera, on Pasolini, and in particular on Italy of this decade.

Literally exciting is the "Visual Files" Dossier section, which mainly contains images and photographic material, which provides a long study of the most typical iconographies of the time.
