For strength and for love
Telling the Palio of Siena is not easy. Apparently it's a horse race, an attraction for tourists who watch incredulously. Yet, after five hundred years it still speaks a lot about us Italians: the sacred and profane, the silence before the move, the tumultuous moments of the race, the joy and tears.

About Artist
Giuseppe Santangeli
My name is Giuseppe Santangeli (b. 1970, Italy). I am a father, an engineer and a photography enthusiast. I am not a professional photographer, but I have been exploring the language of photography for over twenty years. This year I have been awarded with two honourable mentions at the Londono Photography Awards in the “special - diptychs” and “travel” categories. In 2022 I was awarded 2nd place at the Monochrome Awards in the “photojournalism” category, and got an honourable mention at the Annual Photography Awards in the “fine art” category. I received national recognitions as “Spoleto Calling 2021”, among others, and exhibited at the prize “the shape of the sacred today” in Milan on the occasion of the Design Week, chaired by maestro Oliviero Toscani. I was also shortlisted for the Siena Creative Photo Awards. My work has been featured in Photo Project Pro “Shots to tell” and “Spoleto Calling” (2021), among others. I prefer performing arts photography, reportage and black and white.
