A
tourist climbing up Via Guelfa can’t help stopping
in awe at the sight of the studio of photographer Roberto
Masserelli: some of the photographs on display in the
window allure him/her and rouse his/her curiosity as
they tell the story of the town they’re about
to visit. Cortona is, in fact, the object of desire
and the subject of all magical effects this vast and
interesting photography collection may conjure up. Roberto
Masserelli approaches the subject on tiptoe and a particular
romantic enthusiasm whether his camera is attempting
to encompass the town’s peerless panorama which
makes Cortona look, as Henry James wrote, “nearer
to the sky than to the railway station” or is
immortalizing in the twilight the Franciscan convent
of “Le Celle” enshrouded by the mystical
silence of its century-old stones and an atmosphere
of absolute peace and quiet...
