(5 July 2017) Paolo Morello's photo exhibition "Itinerary in perfection" was inaugurated on July 3 at the Archaeological Museum of Chania, on the island of Crete. The exhibition, curated by Aphrodite Oikonomidou organised in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Culture of Athens, will remain open to the public until July 23. The work of Paolo Morello was born from the intention to revisit the mythical places of European culture through a series of two hundred photographs that explore and document the most important archaeological sites of Greece and Magna Graecia. Historian of photography, photographer, and publisher, Morello graduated from the Scuola Normale di Pisa and St John's College in Oxford. He taught Photography and History of Photography at the Universities of Palermo, Bologna, Brescia, Verona, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, and from 2001 to 2009 at Iuav University from Venice. At the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, he founded and directed the two-year Master Programme in Photography. From 2001 to 2010 he was Contributing Editor of the journal 'History of Photography', and from 1999 to 2011 he directed the Istituto Superiore per la Storia della Fotografia. In 2011, he founded Glint, a luxury editions publishing house based in London. He is the author of many fundamental studies on the history of photography in Italy and the Practical Guide to the Photography Market published by the Higher Institute for the History of Photography.

THE GREAT ANCIENT SPLENDOUR

Today there are very few vestiges that remain of the splendour of ancient Greece. Of the thousands of temples, theatres, and buildings, there are only a few dozens that stand, and they are mostly fragmented and time-worn. Nevertheless, these few survivals have been, over the centuries, the destination of passionate journeys, objects of great veneration that still continue to arouse wonder and amazement.
