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.","brand":"L'Artiere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48683230101733,"sku":"NP9791280978332","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_8a262d55-120f-4622-9fae-8f25f121f986.jpg?v=1775169387","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/italian-story-isbn-9791280978332","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
