Neri Fadigati Archivio Giorgini

Neri Fadigati (Florence 1953) is Giorgini’s grandson. His mother Graziella (Forte dei Marmi 1922 - Florence 1975) was Giovanni Battista’s eldest daughter. In the postwar period, his father, Giovanni M. Fadigati, (Parma1920 - Milan1989) was the director of the buying office G.B. Giorgini. Graduated in Philosophy, Neri has worked since the early eighties as a journalist and documentary photographer, freelancing for many Italian and foreign magazines. Some of his images have been published on The National Geographic Magazine. In 2007, the Marino Marini Museum in Florence organized a solo photo exhibition, showing more than 90 photographs. Since 2001, he has dedicated himself to lecturing photojournalism at the study abroad programs of various American universities in Florence. He has published Il Mestiere di Vedere, introduzione al fotogiornalismo, Pisa, Pisa University Press, 2009. Since 1990, he has worked on enhancing the documentation left by his grandfather. In 2001, he founded the Giorgini Archive, of which he is still the president.

Abstract

This essay reconstructs the history of Giovanni Battista Giorgini (Forte dei Marmi 1898 – Florence 1971) together with some events of his family; his contribution to the birth of Made in Italy and the Giorgini archival collections establishment. In particular, there are various archival collections attributable to the Giorgini family. The materials are divided between the Archivio di Stato of Florence, and the Contemporary Archive of the Gabinetto Vieusseux. They cover the chronological period from the end of the 18^th century to 1971. The content of this documentation can certainly contribute to the detailed study of different aspects of Italian history, from the development of artistic craftsmanship to the importance of trade in international relations during the twentieth century.
