Made entirely with an 8×10 view camera, the photographs span decades and regions, revealing a slow, attentive way of seeing rooted in time, presence, and return. The title draws from the layered meaning of the Italian word \u003ci\u003estoria\u003c\/i\u003e--at once history, story, situation, and fiction--reflecting the book's open, fluid narrative. Rather than offering a linear account, Italian Story unfolds as a personal and poetic record of encounters, places, and moments shaped by memory and imagination. Balancing intimacy and distance, documentary precision and lyrical ambiguity, Modica's images form a quiet meditation on duration, place, and the act of looking. Published by L'Artiere, the book stands as an ongoing visual narrative--both lived and constructed--between photographer and country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Modica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9791280978332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e L'Artiere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Andrea Modica","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48520323367167,"sku":"9791280978332","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49212051-1732-4aad-a73a-9a474d581ded.jpg?v=1778742074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-story-andrea-modica-9791280978332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
