Mario Giacomelli’s work "Io non ho mani che mi accarezzino il volto" (1961-1963) is a seminal series capturing the playful yet contemplative lives of young seminarians, blending motion and stillness to reflect the tension between spiritual devotion and human yearning. Characterized by Giacomelli’s distinctive high-contrast black-and-white style, the series transforms everyday scenes into abstract, almost surreal compositions, highlighting his ability to transcend traditional documentary photography. – In excellent condition.
