• The most beautiful kiss in the history of photography? It is impossible to establish it, but it is certain that a place on the podium belongs to the image of this young couple, indifferent to the crowd of passers-by and the traffic of the place de l’Hôtel de Ville in Paris.
  The author is Robert Doisneau, the great master of photography to whom Palazzo Roverella pays homage through one of the most beautiful 2020 photographic exhibitions, capable of revealing to the public works whose vocation is, precisely, to capture moments of happiness like this.

  When I saw the photos of Jacques Henri Lartigue on show in Milan, an unknown world opened up to me.
