Rural life and the natural world: the gaze of Francesco Rinaldi

FRANCESCO RINALDI

Francesco Rinaldi bought his camera, a Silma 800 Macro in Super8, in the late 1970s, with the stated intent of building moving memories of his family, especially his parents and young daughter Anna Lisa. A self-taught enthusiast, he enjoyed exploring and showing everyday family life and the cycles of nature through films infused with handcrafted and creative solutions.
