Italian photographer Gianni Berengo Gardin has died

[Alex Benjamin]

Great Italian photographer Gianni Berengo Gardin died yesterday, age 94.

Could only find an Italian article. Hopefully there will be some in French or English.

Morto Gianni Berengo Gardin, il maestro dei reportage: «Ritoccare le foto è inammissibile, pretendo di vedere quello che ha visto il fotografo»

Tra i più grandi fotografi italiani, è scomparso a 94 anni. Con la sua Leica e il riconoscibile bianco e nero ha raccontato la società, l’architettura e l’ambiente

Thank you Alex for these beautiful samples.

His work on the state of Italian mental hospitals in the late 60s is also legendary. I'm not sure it is still being printed however.
